I hate daylight savings.  I generally bitch to anyone with in ear shot about it too.

grumble, grumble…

So this morning I slept in… guess why.  I went 30 whole min past when I usually get up.  That means I kept hitting my snooze for 30 min or I let it go off continuously for 30 min.  Which ever was the case I got up, threw the dog out side for a piss, filled his bowl with food, got in and had the quickest shower ever in the history of showers tossed my lunch in my bag and ran out the door.  Now I knew that I had missed my bus but I have a back up.  See my bus picks me up and then tours the suburbs and the doubles back and passes my house again about 2 blocks away.  I can catch it there is I miss it.  There was still a chance I could get it if I run.

Who the hell am I kidding… there’s no way I can run two blocks in 5 min.

dang it.

I quickly needed a back up for my back up.  I knew a bus passed me my house in opposite direction in a few min and that it went to a big mall a few blocks from my house.  Malls are usually bus hubs so if I can make it there I can catch a direct route up the main drag to work.  I ran to a stop and ALMOST missed that bus.  If I did I would have been screwed.  I got to the mall and asked the driver when the next 13 goes downtown.  He said that was him and he’d be leaving in 10 min.  Sweet!  I sat my ass down, took out my laptop, found wireless connection and surfed a bit until the driver came back and I was on my way.  I even got in to work only 20 min later then I usually do and still way ahead of most people.

So now I have a back up bus for my back up bus.

In your face daylight savings!
