tvordljSome days i really really really hate the bus. I really do.
Especially the ones that don't show up.
When my fingers are about to break from all the grocery bags.
When it did finally show up, it was nearly empty and the driver was being directed around the route by a passenger. She'd only been driving a bus for 2 weeks and had never done that route before! But i don't think that's why the bus was late, i think perhaps the one i was waiting for broke down or something. Otherwise this bus *should* have been packed full. Funny thing was, standing there, we saw a bus come to the intersection down the road. It should have turned up towards us. It disappeared. No idea where it went but apparently it wasn't her going the wrong way. I would put my bags down for awhile and then gather them all up when a bus headed down the road only to find out it wasn't the one i needed. Every single bus came along there except mine. One route was even represented twice!! There were no cabs in the area by that grocery store like the other one. If i'd just called a cab from the start i would have been home in 3 minutes. I could have walked home in 10 or 15 but i had too much to carry.
And of course if i called one while i waited, sod's law, a bus would come round the corner.
Kind like lighting up a cigarette.
If i smoked.
Instead, I steamed.
But i'm ok now. I have pie.
