Second bus caught on FIRE on Lakeshore Drive as we were approaching the Magnificent Mile.
My god! To me, the second bus would have been a sign that someone doesn't want me going where I was going, and I would have went home.
Love isn't brains, children, it's blood, blood screaming inside you to work its will.

First bus stalled on Lakeshore Drive near Belmont. Second bus caught on FIRE on Lakeshore Drive as we were approaching the Magnificent Mile. Third bus actually made it to the Loop. Now have horrible fire+exhaust-induced migraine.
Holy crap, shrift! Were these buses you were on? I've had come bad commutes, but that sounds like a record winner.

Agreed. Someone's indicating it's time to take a sick day or something.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Seriously.
"Yeah, I'm not going to be in today."
"Why ever not?"

Our wings are not tired
Yeah that's time to skip work and say it was due to an act of god and you can't be held responsible.

I think I'll avoid using any sort of transport in the midwest. It seems awfully fraught.

I'll just avoid the Midwest.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
What they said, shrift. You are a braver woman than I, carrying on all the way to work. On a Friday. In the summer.

Need all the vacation time I can earn, unfortunately. Also, by the time I shower, dress, put on makeup, and get downtown, might as well go to work. Job not hard. Has A/C and internets. Even brought lunch and caffeine with me.
Were these buses you were on?
Yes. Am cursed.
Have coffee now. Am taking goddamn train home. Will probably derail.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

You know you're just paying your pre-con dues, right?
