buses

i woke up 10 minutes early this morning so i could walk to my usual bus stop instead of taking the one across from my place, and get some exercise. i was early, but apparently, so was the bus, that i suddenly saw zoom by me a couple of minutes before i got to the stop, which was quite a bit before it was due. the following bus was, of course, late, so that i missed my connection with the next one, which was supposed to take me all the way across town in a roundabout way (i was teaching in company this morning). the following bus should have got me to the place on time (yes, i had planned to get there early just in case), but it was 10 minutes late so of course, i was late, too. which had never happened. ever. i know it's not the end of the world but being late, especially for work, is just not something i can live with easily... did it ruin my day? no. but do i feel awful? yes. am i stupid? probably...
