I RODE THE BUS! I'm so excited! Well not really...I'd be more excited if this whole thing never happened, but in the grand scheme of all that happened yesterday with the bus, I'm excited. So here's the deal....I call the Seattle Metro system, and tell them where and when I need to go. So they tell me "catch the 39 bus at 1:02 at the bus stop right around the corner from your house. Bonus! That sounds easy enough. Well, I definatly didn't want to miss the bus, so I get there 20 minutes early, backpack in tow, $1.25 in hand ready to pay. I wait. And I wait. And I wait some more. More waiting. Waiting... dum di dum.... waiting. Well then, here comes one bus.....ZOOM right by me, doesnt' stop. So I figure, well that must not be my bus. So I wait. And I wait. And I continue waiting until the next bus finally comes, pulls up and I proudly say "Is this going to Southcenter?" With that the lady barked, "What's it say? Does it say Southcenter? NO. It says Beacon Hill/Downtown." Then slammed the door and off she went....leaving me alone with no ride to work, still clutching my buck and a quarter. So of course I freak out again, called Burke at work, exlaiming "I don't know how to ride the bu-u-u-u-s..... So he sent Liz to come pick me up, and then we got new maps, and figured out where I SHOULD be to catch the bus.
So today I work at 2:00 right? Well I get up saying I'm going to nail this thing. I left at 12:30 with every intention of getting on that bus. Missed it twice. It's so FREAKING annoying! Everytime I'm literally just on the wrong side of the street! I just don't know where to stand! But then I did get on one, but when I went to pay, the driver yelled at me when I handed him my money. "It's 2002, put in the machine!" And off I went to sell shoes for the day.....
Oh, also I have a plea for y'all. Sign the guestbook! Or rather, as I like to call it, the messageboard. Check in, say hello, keep in touch with eachother. Maybe my home friends could chat with my Seattle friends! How nice would that be??!!!
