The first time, I got on the 535 but realized on the ride home that I hadn't checked what time the library closed. No big deal right? I'll just check on my blackberry. Oh, don't have a blackberry, no problem, I'll just call using my cell. Oh right- ugh! Didn't have one at that time and hadn't had one for 2 weeks at that point. Old cell was paid by old company and still hadn't received one from my new co. I thought it would be a much quicker process. Anywho... still not a huge deal, right? I can drive home, call from there and then go to the library. Cha right! Have I not mentioned that I HATE the cold. So needless to say by the time I got home on that particular day, I was NOT going back out.
The second attempt... the bus NEVER came. Ok thats an exaggeration. It came like 40 minutes late and this time I knew the library closed at 630... see my most recent blog. So needless to say, I shouldn't have been surprised yesterday...
I was listening to IPod and reading as the bus went through the toll and suddenly I heard yelling... multiple people yelling... "Hey... HEY! WHERE ARE YOU GOING?!!?" The driver obviously didn't know the route and almost missed our exit. Luckily a fellow passenger took it upon himself to practically dive to the front of the bus and he stayed there directing the driver until we pulled into the station.
So you think that means I made it to the library without any problem, right?
Nope! Not for me. I realized I didn't bring my wallet with my library card so I had to run home first but this time, I left the car running so I HAD to go back out into the cold! Good thing the library had some great books waiting for me :)
