Unlucky

I always hate the public transport in Sydney. It doesn't matter what it is, train or bus, it never come on time. It either comes too early, or too late, but never on time.

I had an interesting morning today. My bus was about 5 minutes late, which was still OK to Sydney 'standard'. It was then the usual pick-up drop off routine, until it reached the freeway. The usual 3-lane was reduced into 2-lane, which caused the traffic to crawl. At the time, I knew I'm going to be late to work maybe 10 minutes compared to my usual time.

I was so happy when the bus finally freed from the 2-lane part of the freeway. Hooray! Not long after ... BAM! I don't know what it was, but it appeared the bus had hit something... I don't know, I don't care... until the bus slowed and stopped. Awww... this is great! Announcement then came from the driver, I couldnt really heard it since I was at the far back of the bus. We waited for about 10 minutes in the middle of freeway!

I was late by half an hour.

Then anothing thing happened. I went inside the lift, pressed the button to level 43. Someone else pressed 42 and 49. I had a quick look, yeah 43 is pressed.
The lift stopped at 42, then it went all the way up to 49. What the f***!?

It's like some kind of force prevented me to come to the office today!
