Haha... so true. It's why I'm only semi-committed. My tolerance for delays/issues is different for each day.

ETA: I also have selected a route with no transfers (though it adds a short amount of time to my commute) to minimize this disturbance in the public transit force.

My ride home, which I'm guessing will be the most prone to problems, has only 1 transfer. Minimizing transfers in the morning would have added too much of a time penalty. 2 transfers isn't ideal, but they are well timed and involve fairly sleepy routes so I'm less concerned.

It should be noted that I'm not a public transit novice. I spent a year doing the public bus thing to and from high school (a 1 hour+ trek), so I'm no stranger to the joys and pitfalls. The key difference being the lack of a driver's license at the time. No danger of giving up and choosing to drive out of frustration/convenience, even if I wanted to.

I found this pin-up calendar interesting.

Caution: Whether those images are safe for work will require taking your HR person into gray areas that make them angry.

Well the October one is perfect for Halloween

Considering I deleted a very explicit photo off the computer from someone in HR I'm not sure we have any gray areas.

Perhaps it was evidence as part of an ongoing investigation

That is the grayest gray area I could ever imagine. Cool link! And what a great ad campaign

That was fun.

First bus of the morning was late, so I missed my first connection. Not a big deal, I'd end up being 10 minutes later than scheduled, and only 5 minutes late to work.

I have a habit that if I have more than a couple of minutes to wait for a bus I just start heading in the direction of the route, stopping at each stop to glance back and make sure the bus hasn't caught up yet. With a bike, I can cover a lot more ground. Enough, in fact, that I made it to the next stop before the next bus was scheduled to have even arrived at the transfer point, and got myself back on schedule.
