mousmePost about work will happen later.
The really minor cold I've had since Monday got a lot better on Thursday and was almost gone on Friday except for a bit of a minor cough. The minor cough got progressively worse yesterday until I could barely get through three sentences on the phone.
Many liquids and cough drops later, and it's back to where it was yesterday morning, i.e. not so bad. I really hope it stays that way, because I came *thisclose* to losing a lung yesterday evening. I love being sick, don't you?
Also, I would really appreciate it if tonight the bus was on time. I have this fantastic problem with the buses that run along the two local routes: they pass early. Not two minutes early, no. They come five to ten minutes early. I'm sorry, but how hard is it to respect a schedule when you're early? Sit at your stop for a few minutes for goodness' sake! That way all your users won't be caught waiting for ridiculous amounts of time for the bus.
See, the buses around here pass every half hour at the best of times. I agree that compared to, say, the United States, that's pretty good. But let's pretend for a minute that I live in a city with a well-developed public transit infrastructure. That means that on most of the frequently-used lines, the buses come at least every fifteen or twenty minutes, and sometimes more. That's between three and ten buses an hour, compared to two buses an hour if I'm lucky. If I miss one, it means the next one is going to come half an hour later, and then I have to walk. Again, walking isn't a bad thing in and of itself, and it's an activity I enjoy, except when I wanted to take the bus.
Gnarr.
In other news, I have a large purring cat in my lap. Life can't possibly be that bad. :)
