A great blonde moment
It actually happened a few weeks back, but seriously, this blonde moment I'm actually quite proud of.
Bussing to work, sometimes I like to take a little snooze, I mean, its early, and it takes an hour, so might as well.
I often actually wake up before my stop and dont recognise where I am and freak, but so far, I've never missed my stop.
One particular morning, I woke up with a jolt and realised I was in this little village area where I could get stamps, and I was like 1/2 an hour early for work (the busses here are reliably unreliable, no matter what time i get to the bus stop, or what time the bus leaves, it will never get in at the same time, ever.) So I got off the bus, and bought stamps, and went to get on the next bus.
Here comes to moment, I see the 19 and 19A bus pull up at the same time, and I ask the first one if he goes up this street, which I know he doesnt, but you know, I'm an idiot. I got on the wrong bus. Realised it like 5 minutes later, and got off, and walked across the street to catch the 13 to get back to work. Then I got on the 13A, and realised a good while later that in fact that bus did NOT go near my job. I ended up at 20 minute walk from the office, got off and gave up on my ability to take buses anymore. I did get a nice tour of Glasnevin where I work though. I was 20 minutes late, which really, when I was going to 15 minutes early, kinda sucks.
My friends at work also pointed out that when I got on the 13A I was only a 5 minute walk from work. Damn.
