I Am Going to Bitch for a Little Bit

Several things to bitch about today:
– Someone, caller ID “unknown,” called me at 6:30am today. I didn’t pick up in time to bitch them out, and they didn’t leave a message.
– I have recently been reorganizing my apartment. So my alarm clock isn’t hooked up, and I have been using my cell phone as an alarm. The cell phone alarm went off way early, at like 7am, and then started going off TWICE once it reached the time it was actually supposed to go off.
– I went to bed early last night, around 11pm, and still didn’t wake up in time to eat breakfast. I hate not being a morning person sometimes. I did bring a PB&J with me to work though.
– Having woken up late like usual, but this time a little bit later, I decided to take the bus instead of walk. I looked at nextmuni.com – next bus in 17 minutes. I walked anyway – it was faster this morning.
– Last night after class, I wanted to take the 28 bus home, which doesn’t require any transfers. I checked my phone, again nextmuni.com, and it said 63 minutes until the next bus. I have found that nextmuni.com is horribly incomplete for this bus line, but I didn’t want to chance that it would actually be correct. So I took the M instead and got off at Van Ness. There are two bus lines that run on Van Ness. The 47 and the 49. The 47 was an 18-minute wait, and the 49 was a 12-minute wait. I decided to just start walking. I walked the 1.4 miles without being passed by a single bus. I think this happens about a third of the time that I try to board a bus from here at this time of night. Overall it took me an hour to go 8.5 miles. *start sarcasm* Ah, the joys of not having a car. *end sarcasm*

And, I think that is all I have to bitch about from the past 12 hours.

  • Yep, I’ve used it. Unfortunately they don’t have MUNI on there.

    As for cycling…would love to do it more. I need to buy a bike though. That single speed I got from you doesn’t work so well on the hills.

  • Have you tried hopstop.com? That one has worked for me in New York, though I haven’t tried it for buses or (obviously) for San Fran.

  • Looks like it works, but it doesn’t have arrival times. Nextmuni.com generally works pretty well for this. The bigger issue here is that MUNI doesn’t run enough buses at night.

  • You should really get one of those razor scooters. It is small enough to carry yet can get you where you need to go.
