Bus o bus
I want to participate in the green action so I took the bus to work this morning. I check the schedule, and the bus supposed to arrive at 9.23 am. Notice the word i used "supposed"
I understand if the bus runs a little late or early, like 5-10 minutes. But given the weather and situation, it was raining and windy, 10 minutes felt like forever.
But I have given my word to myself that I am going to take the bus to work today!
So I waited.
Here is the scary fact, those buses don't stop at every stop! If they don't see anyone waiting on the station, they don't stop!!!
Luckily, it was the bus that went to the opposite direction.
I got to my station at 9.15 which is 8 minutes early.
So I waited and waited. Looked at the clock and it was 9.30.
I was having second thought about this bus thing because it was already 9.30 and I was not at my desk!
I was going to walk but walking will take longer and it is already too late to start walking.
It will take me 45 minutes to walk and with these high heels shoes, forget it. It will probably take a good hour.
Suddenly, a strong wind came and blew my umbrella!!! aiaiaiai!
My umbrella was inside out :>
So I just turned it around, let the wind flipped it back. Smart eh? hahahha
And another brilliant idea came into my mind. I have a cellphone so I can play games while waiting for my ride.
Playing games helped alot. The next I knew, the bus came at 9.45.
It picked me up and it moved forward right away.
Being inside an empty bus was a very nice feeling. There was only several people in the bus.
Plus it was warm :>
The ride was very short. It was about 6 minutes long.
I pulled the string and on my way to work.
And I got work at 10 and I saw my super already sitting nicely at his desk.
oh dear....
what a day...
