Wednesday, August 03, 2005 Short and sweet, y'all
Today is the day I became a woman, because I finally have my monthly bus pass. I'm so excited. Bus, metro, light rail. I own this town. Own it. I've written my name in on its inner lining in permanent marker.
The best part is, I did some math, and I'm spending like, five dollars more a month than I would if I just bought a one-way ticket every time (a day pass is more expensive than two one-way rides, because LUNATICS are the only people employed at the higher levels of the Maryland MTA.)
On the other hand: sometimes, when I have to, I take the bus even in my leisure time, and my calculations were based on riding to and from work, so maybe the pass will pay for itself after all. Beyond that, the feeling of being nickel and dimed is far more acute when one is dealing in actual dimes and nickels, and the fate of one's entire morning depends on whether one can locate thirty cents in the cracks in the living room chairs and the pockets of one's dirty laundry in the next 20 minutes. Ugh. No more of that for me. I've reached a new pinnacle of self-care.
Now, I have got to GO, because this is Wednesday, suckers, and on Wednesdays I paint the town. posted by Frenz | 8/03/2005 07:21:00 PM
