1306: Got on bus to location of "Fox River" A.K.A. The Festering Hell-Hole of TFS
1340: Arrived at "Fox River" - only one member of staff present, herself leaving around 1430
1420: The statutory business dealt with, I wander back to the bus station for an early return home
1516: Bus due (supposedly)...
1536: Next bus due. Still no sign of 1516 bus.
1545: Get on the next available bus home - not as comfortable as the buses that never showed, but hey. No sign of the 1536 bus.
1710: Arrive on outskirts of home. Nice change of scenery on the bus, but I'd prefer to have been home by now...
1725: Drag myself in the door.
All this - about three hours - for 40 minutes of The Fucking System's oh-so-important paper shuffling. If it wasn't the most gorgeous day of the year (20-C and clear, sunny skies), I'd have been pretty pissed off by now. Ah, the joys of public transport.
Project News... Made major progress on whipping MoN-103 into shape this morning, tinkering with the 13 existing chapters, and expanding them a little to fit with recent events. The story was started a while back, and now's the perfect time to make use of that work, just when I need to focus on a single thread - TDD-503, to be exact. Hopefully, these two stories will take us to the end of this current Fucking System nonsense, and into a summer that's ALL my own!
Now if you'll excuse me, I have the rest of my "mid-weekend" to relax into...
