Bag lady

Ok well today I am the bag lady I bitched about yesterday. I'm going straight from the work to the giants game so it was necessary to back a blanket, ear muffs, gloves, extra layers.

Plus, I needed to pack stuff for the gym and my lunch. Needless to say, I have a lot of shit with me today.

I ran to the bus this morning. Not just my normal jog but a full on run. At least I caught the bus, the next one was 15 minutes out. As much as I like this bus because it picks me up a block from my place and drops me off almost across the street from my office, it doesn't come very frequently.

Its hot as hell on this bus, why don't people open windows? Do they enjoy the hot humid bus and breathering other people germs? It doenst help that the windows aren't the easiest ones to open.

I wanted to tell you how last night taking the bus home was an adventure.

I was waiting for the 12 since I was going to Melissa's for dinner. I couldn't decided if I want the 10 or the 12 since I still needed to stop and pick somethings up at the market.

Traffic starts to back up and I can see the 10 bus but not the 12. The bus was slightly pulled away from the curb so I ran up and tapped on the door. Well the bus driver just starred at me. Then she let me.

She proceeds to yell @ me about how stupid I was and that I could've been hit. That SF is one of the most dangerous places and that people get hit all the time doing what I had just done. Great - getting yelled at by a muni driver.

I start to think I shouldve just waited for the 12. So what shouldve been a quick trip to the 1 in the findis we get stuck in traffic with crazy bus lady. A big rig was on its 4th attempt backing into a delivery enterence of a building. Traffic was blocked up for 3 blocks in each direction. And he was still trying to back it in. Now we are talking about a 1 way street with access to the bridge, so you can image the demand for people to get thru.

He finally stopped his multiple attemps and let some people get thru. Who knows if he ever made it.

The girl with two big bags

Let me be honest, I love bags and the bigger they are the more I love them.

However when riding muni one has to be careful about her bags and the ease of getting around with them. ( There is a point to this story, please be patient)

Recently I upgraded to an extra large bag and it holda everything. From my lunch to my palnner to my gym clothes and make up, I am a one bag kind of girl.

It shocks me to see girls on the bus with two big bags. They can barley naviagate where they are going snacking people along the way. I'd you want to make it even worse, add a backpack and an oversized bag. So while they are pushing and shoving they are also whacking people with their backpack.

Being short, it isn't uncommon for me to take a backpack straight to the face.

The girl across from me almost whipped out a small asian man as she sat down, forgetting she had a large pink bag on her shoulder.

Oh the other thing that gets me is coughing on the bus and not covering your mouth. It is the right thing to do. You cough and you put your hand over your mouth. But not on SF public transportation.

Wheels on the bus

We all know whe wheels on the bus go 'round and 'round. But why don't people open windows?

With SARs, Swine, the common cold and flu, why do people insist on sitting on a bus with all the windows closed? It's like being stuck on an airplane, well on an airplane they circulate the air.

I had another eventful morning of running to the bus. I really wanted to make sure I packed a breakfast (yogurt and blueberries) for the office, which left me with about 2 minutes according to nextmuni (www.nextmuni.com) so I ran down three flights on stairs and up Leavenworth to catch my bus. So glad I made it.

While the 12 is super convient for me to take to the office, if you miss it - your screwed.....

Speaking of the 12 I hear they are suggesting taking it off the embarcedro and into the findis. If this bus start going thru the heart of china town. I don't know what I would do. When I took the new job with Demandforce (www.demandforce.com) I was excited that I could take a bus that went around china town. While I have nothing against the people who inhabit Chinatown, I feel that the neighbor is gross. The smell, the trash, the pushing and shoving, that's just not me. But I have been told that if you want good produce go to Chinatown.

Another day in fogland, that is a benefit to working in SOMA, I increase the chances of seeing the sun. Woohoo!

For now I'm signing off unless something exciting happens between now and the office, you never really know....

Oh the joys of muni

no phone = no blog today

After a great weekend, running 10 miles and welcoming my parents home from Europe. I left my phone in my car. Thus, no morning blog.

Got back to SF late last night and parked my car on the street. Since I don't have a city parking permit(add "things to do") I had to get up this morning, walk to my car, and go put it in the garage 5 blocks away. i grabbed my oversized gold tote and walked, more like ran, to the bus.

leaving my phone on the passenger seat of my car. joy.

happy monday folks. and don't forget to take my survey.

Friday Fun

Pretty uneventful this morning. Packed bus - maybe because of the weather?

I have found that the later you take the bus during morning commute hours the more packed the bus gets. Also, they type of people change completly. Usually on my 755/8 am bus there are people all dressed up and look like they are off to come super corporate job.

This morning, and yes I realize it's Friday, people are much more casual. But that isn't just because its Friday. I scan the people around me and not one of them isn't in jeans.

I think it rained last night -smells like it did. Everyone is bundled up including myself.

No windows open on the bus and I could open 1 without pushing my chest into someones face for once, but the temperature is just right.

When I first moved to SF I used to wear flip flops to work all the time. But then my toes would always freeze waiting for the bus. I invested in some adorable cole haans that keep my toes nice and warm. Looking at the other people on the bus I can only wonder how many of them have cold feet.

About every other person on this bus has some form of open toe shoes on and it makes me want to ask "are your toes cold"

Broken Muni

Everyone loves a broken bus. I leave my house excited that I am actually going to catch the bus and get to work on time. Well, that's not the case this morning.

As I wait on the cornern feeling the mist from this morning's fog I can only anticpate the arrival of my bus. There is a sense of excitment when you arrive at the bus stop onlu seconds before the bus arrives.

I can see the bus approaching at its previous stop. But it's not moving. Then I see the driver get off the bus and walk to the back. Great. Another day of a broken down bus. So I wait. And wait.

It finally starts moving again and right behind it is another 12. Which bus to get on? Do I get on the broken bus that is moving now and take the chance that it may break again between here and my office? Or do I take the other bus hoping that it stops?

Oh a positive note, my dilf is on the bus. He rides the bus to work with his adorable daughter and her Disney princess backpack on wheels. He doesn't wear a ring and is really attentive to his daughter so I assume he's single. Or he just let's me think that for my own pleasure. I have yet to get his name but I have exchanged a few conversations with him here and there. Bus love.

Ohh the joys of muni

Wednesday morning. Running late. No chance I am making the 12 today. And the next one comes in 16 minutes. Not gonna happen either.

So I walk quickly uphill four blocks - still sore from my work out last night and my uphill hike home.

As I walk I see the 1-California go by. Fuck. Ok they come pretty frequently so I wait for the next one.

Well the next one takes forever to get to the stop. Then it doesn't stop. Great.

Now I'm on a bus, standing, pretty sure ill be strolling into the office a tad late.

There were two cute asian kids playing together while waiting for the bus. They reminded me of me and kyle when we were younger.

Ok why are no windows open on this bus? I'd open one but I'd rather not have his face in my chest. The girl next to him has a beautiful ring and band. But she just got off the bus in CTown good luck!

I made it to the findis. Woohoo halfway there, now to catch the 10. There is always a sense of excitment when riding Muni$ you never know what is going to happen or how long it is really going to take to get you there. It really is a love hate relationship. The sense of excitment you feel when you catch a bus you think your going to miss or when you outsmart muni and get there just as soon by taking an alternate route.

On the 10 now and headed toward Soma. The driver has the heater on as if we were in Chicago in the middle of a blizzard.

Ahh the joys of riding MUNI.
