Almost missed the bus
Heh, I was running a little late this morning so I tried to make up for it by walking faster than I usually do. But it didn't help; I got to the corner right as the bus was coming through the light, and I was on the other side of the street awaiting a WALK signal.
Buuuuut I am a regular bus-rider and the driver noticed me standing there and actually stopped at my usual stop and waited for me to be able to get over there! Nice!
I got on and I was all "Am I late?" Heh. She didn't really answer me, she just said, "That's okay, baby, I saw you."
Umkay.
I looked at my clock and it was 7:17 by that point. The bus is supposed to come at 7:16. I guess I was about on time, but it runs a little different each way and besides if you're a bus-rider you're supposed to be there five minutes early. :)
Anyway then I changed to the other bus at the transfer point and went around the corner and pulled for my stop, and as usual it was a really big step to get off the bus. You know, they "kneel" the bus for every frail-looking old lady or parent with a little kid . . . how come they don't put the bus down for midgets? Waaaah!
