Forty-five minutes

The rest of the week I have to take the bus into work as my ride has vacation time.  Taking the bus to work in the morning is usually not a pleasant chore and now that school is back in session the potential for a truly awful ride is pretty high.  Backpacks and the sheer number of kids wanting to take the bus combined with the newer buses that have room for fewer people means that personal space is at a premium.

This morning I think I got to work in the shortest amount of time possible.  That is 45 minutes.  Only about 30 minutes are spent on the bus, the rest is walking from the house to the bus stop and the bus stop to the office.  The only way I was able to achieve that 45 minutes was to catch all of the buses right as they were leaving my stop and the fact that none of them were extraordinarily full.   I try not to let it depress me too much.  I figure I can listen to most of one album per trip so that makes me happier.
