My day
Originally uploaded by theducks

Empirical observations show that if I miss the 5:40PM bus, the next one doesn't get there until 6:10PM due to inbound traffic, despite there being scheduled ones for 5:50 and 6:00. The 6:10PM bus gets to the halfway point at the same time as the one that left half an hour earlier and ends up right behind it.

Sigh.

ahh... commuting. I've seen a guy stick his arm and shoulder in a train door to catch the express from Flinders Street. Door eventually opened again. Everyone on the carriage winced. Who needs both arms if you can be home 15 minutes earlier?

I know it's tiring, but you have to admit, the personalities/weird stuff happening makes it interesting. You start to see the same people every morning and afternoon :)

So doesn't that mean that you might as well hang around and catch the 610 bus? Or are you trying to get away from work early?

Good thing you have that awesome view!

I hate commuting. Not sure I can ever go back to no 10-15 minute walk to work. Or at least, that close by bike / motorbike.

You should've seen the obnoxious guy on my bus today. The bus was apparently just five minutes late, and he swore his head off at the bus driver, the poor young boy who got on and didn't have enough change (because he held up the bus), and he yelled swear words at the top of his voice after he finally disembarked. And five minutes is nothing compared to the 30 minutes you wait! Grrr.
