Yes, you're reading that correctly. Typically I leave here on a 4 o'clock bus, arrive at the garage at 4:30 and get home at 5. However, last evening as I was waiting for the bus I had to dial in to a conference call meeting. My bus was a bit late but my app said it was arriving now so a bus pulled up just as I was asked to enter the code for the meeting. I glanced up, saw the numbers and got on. It wasn't until the bus pulled off the freeway that I realized I was on the wrong bus. I had gotten on the 540 rather than the 542. In a panic, I got off at the very first stop. That was wrong. I got onto the metro trip planner and found that I needed to take another bus to the next stop where I could catch a third bus that would take me to the Redmond Transit Center. Well, I missed the correct bus because I didn't realize I needed the one saying Kenmore. And when I finally got a bus to the next stop, the Kirkland Transit Center, I had just missed the bus to the Redmond Transit Center by one minute. ONE MINUTE! That meant that I had to stand in the 90 degree heat for 30 minutes. I arrived at the garage at 6 o'clock. Needless to say I didn't feel like doing anything when I got home. I was SO mad at myself!! The dog had already had her walk, so I stripped off and had a nice shower, made myself a big bloody Mary and calmed down. What a bone headed mistake.
It's another hot day and I'm very busy. At least it will go by quickly.
