Two posts in one day! I had to share. Most of this is taken from an email I wrote to a friend complaining about my day. My day has been...what is a good word? Interesting. Yes, we'll go with that as it avoids any profanity. As far as work goes, it has been a normal day. I've read some stuff, written some stuff, gone to a meeting or two, and generally been a good worker. But then things started to go wrong.

At 1:00 it occured to me that I hadn't seen my carpool partner all day. This would not usually concern me since I drive in with my carpool partner and know that he is somewhere around. However, I stayed at a friend's last night and took Big City Transit to work this morning, so I have no way of knowing if carpool guy is indeed somewhere or not. Later in conversation with someone in carpool guy's department I find out that no, he is not here. He didn't come in today.

Soooo, my ride didn't come to work, which means he won't be going home from work, so how am I supposed to get home from work?

Normally I could get a ride with the other carpool that goes to My Town but they had no room. Then carpool guy was going to drive in to pick something up from the office and then take me home. Problem solved. At 2:45 carpool guy calls to tell me that he is sicker than he thought and can't drive to get me. He has found me a ride to Town Near My Town that is not My Town and that ride will leave sometime after 5pm and I have been here since 7:30am. This has been a LONG DAY. Also, there are no buses between My Town and Town Near My Town... So I am bribing my dad to come and get me. I may get home before 7:30pm.

All this to say, I wish I had a car.
