DIDN'T KNOW GOING TO WORK IS SO FRUSTERATING!

See that huge hole....that is our new parking lot not to be finished for at least 6 more months, so they say and the cause of my frustration.

Let me go back about a year...August 2006. We moved into our new 3 storey building to accommodate for our rapid growth but they didn't allow for enough parking places. What a mess! To solve the problem they drew names for what parking spaces they had and then the rest of the employees took a bus from our old location to the new. They were short 200 parking places. These buses ran back and forth every 15 minute pickups and dropoffs.

Now we have more employees and 2 locations for bus pickups and dropoffs. It isn't like we live in a huge city where you need a bus system or trains to go everywhere. We have always just drove where ever you need to go. We don't even have traffic jams you so often see in the big cities. It is just perfect for morning and night work days. I have lived in San Francisco Bay Area and really know what the traffic can be like when you want to go to work.

I even made the aweful mistake of catching the wrong bus going to my car after work. I had such a bad Monday I totally got on the first bus not thinking where it was going. To my dismay after it started I realized my car wasn't where it was going. Did I feel like a real fool!!

Today I was having a bad hair day and couldn't get it together. I figure I have to leave the house 20 minutes before the bus comes, so to get to work 15 minutes later. And if your schedule at home is off any way, bad hair day or just anything you can miss the bus and totally mess up your work time for the day....and when can you make it up? I can't even amazen if I had to worry about taking kids to school or daycare. I can't even function somedays on my own timetable. It is a frusteration, can't amazen what the winter will be like?

Oh, well we will call this an adventure......the hole keeps getting bigger, not sure when they get done digging and tons have dirt have been taken away. It is to be 5 storeys tall with 800 parkings spots. Each day gets us closer but continues to frusterate me in my timetable.

What a bummer! At least it should be done before winter gets bad. Good luck (at least you can wear your pretty new birks on the bus).
