in which Ruki fails again

Nov 01, 2009 08:19

So.

I went to bed at 4am this morning not because of the Halloween party, sad enough, but because I restarted Fire Emblem. I finished Lyn - Hard and began on Hector - Hard.

I have work at 8:30 this morning like it has been for every Sunday of my life for a while now. I should be out by 7:35 to catch my bus - just in case there's another one at 7:40.

I miss both, for the first time.

...Kay, let's take it to the other direction. If my calculations are correct, the 54 will take me to the other terminus at 8:16 (that's what the printed schedule says, too). Then catch the 45 at 8:17 to the Island, and walk. I should be late by 10 mins or so tops?

Cool. I'm usually 10 mins early, so I'm sure my lead will understand.

Except at the other Terminus for some reason the 45 did not pass even if when I got there the Terminus clock said 8:15. So I had to wait in the cold until 8:32.

...Alright. This is the first time I walk to work from this station, but I've done it once (albeit from work to station and not the other way around) before. Let's see...

/gets lost for 5+ minutes

...

Fuck this I'm hungry.

/wastes another 5 mins or so choosing food (I ended up with a cinnamon apple bun. It was good. yum.)

/gets there at 9:10

/calls my Lead.

"...I'm sorry for being late. My bus screwed me over, actually, and when I tried to call, the answering machine for the company kept picking up..."

"Oh, I see.

...

Did you enjoy that extra hour of sleep?"

"...wat"

What are you talking about. I slept even LESS than usual because I'm dumb and can't sort my priorities. 3 hours? I'll probably pass out at my desk later unless I down 4679870 coffee. Thank god there's free coffee at work.

"? Well, you're quite as bit early, actually. Daylight saving hours. :Db"

"...... ...... ...... ......

So you're telling me it's 8:10am now and not 9:10 am?"

"Yeah :D"

"... /brb getting two coffees."
