I suppose when you do the same thing everyday at the same time, there is the potential to meet the same people and form some sort of odd “we do the same thing everyday” friendship. I wouldn’t know, however, because I do the same thing everyday and nobody wants to talk to me ever... Yet I digress. This morning I had to be at the office at 7am, which translates to 6:15am at the bus stop. Upon arrival, I see a bus passing on the other side, in the opposite direction, and assume it’ll only be a short couple of minutes wait. However, this one woman shows up and says to me “oh you’re early for the 6:33...” Huh? You know what time the buses come? When I normally leave my house every morning around 8:30, I just go. I couldn’t tell you what the bus schedule is to save my life. I didn’t even know they came on a schedule... I thought it was just dumb luck! I looked at her like she had 5 heads and told her I had no idea what time the buses come. Apparently, I just missed the 6:13. Ok whatever smarty pants...
But I’d just seen one going the other way and it certainly wasn’t going to take 18 minutes for it to go 2 blocks and turn around? No, no, it comes at 6:33. FINE. More people start arriving and I begin to realize that they were a little 6:33am bus clique. They all said hello to each other and chatted about current events. Who wants to be that friendly before 8am? Well... Clearly not I (probably why I have no “bus stranger” friends) because one woman was commenting on how Michelle Obama’s inaugural dress looked like she was going to a prom and should have been more stylish... And all I could think in my head was, ok lady... You mean as stylish as your green and yellow amoeba patterned windbreaker that you’re wearing with the hood up...? Everyone’s a critic...

Thank you. I had been holding my breath for about a week.
