I've got big business to do after work today, and wanting to preserve my outfit from the stresses of walking ten minutes to the train, I opted to take the bus to the train - normally I deserve this for winter days, but it's about 90 out and it's only 8:30, so I took the bus. Of course then I get to the train station and the clock says I have a 14-minute wait. W. T. F. Feeling defeated, I grab a Metro to pass the next torturous 14 minutes of my life, and walk without purpose to the escalator. I hoped maybe there'd been a typo in the wait time, but no one was rushing up the escalator or the stairs. Anyhow, I heard the sound of train, could it be? And ran up those moving stairs to find the train STILL boarding. I managed not to fall over myself but still only made it to the doors juuust in time for the rubber stops to close on my fingertips :( To my shock, awe, relief, surprise, the conductor re-opened the doors!!!! And I was welcomed in by a fellow passenger with my new fave line for the day: "You just won this morning, Honey!" YES! I believe I did.
