So my commute has always been pretty awful, redeemed only by the fact I hand out 10 or so tracts a day.
Every time someone has given me a ride it hasn't worked out a second time, they quit, get fired, etc. My dear friend Betty told me flat out "You live the other direction" as did one of my bosses. I didn't ask that boss she just offered but recanted when she heard I lived "that way".
So, I love rides. I covet them. I am home 1 hour and 50 minutes sooner than if I take the bus, and I don't have to wait at the bus stop with The Defecator (who was there today btw).
My Latina coworker is very sweet. I try to treat everyone with respect and kindness and that includes her. She caught me leaving one day and gave me a ride, her daughter picked her up and I told them how much I appreciated it and what my usual trip home looks like. Rosa was horrified and gives me a ride at every chance now, including yesterday and today.
I wonder if the bus driver is missing me. If he thinks I bolted. If he even cares.
But if the sky is dark gray brooding heavy rain, the Defecator's at the bus stop, and I have 4 pounds of candy hanging off my arm, I'm going to get in when Rosa pulls up.
I did give her a Snickers today.
I do wonder what he is thinking, if he is at all.
Edit: it began pouring about an hour ago. The street is experiencing some mild flooding it would have been hideous walking home in that. Glad I took the ride.
