Commuting is a PITA

It being Friday the 13th I thought I'd be quite cunning and bail out of work early. I'd been working since 8:15am anyway and intended to do another hour's work on the bus home, so I felt not one twinge of guilt.
Well, one thing led to another (as it often does) and I ended up highlighting some GBLX routing issue to heanet, spending 45 minutes running tests from there and an alternate site to verify and isolate the fault and ended up getting the 4:52pm bus. This, of course, didn't turn up until shortly after 5:00pm with the net result that I've travelled about 500m in 20 minutes, still have not left Leeds city centre and have a great view of multiple lines of red brake lights stretching out into the visible distance in front of me.
Commuting sucks.

5:40pm Update: It's now 48 minutes from the scheduled bus time and I should be almost home now. I've just passed the Leeds Evening Post building. Inappropriate Yay!
