Somehow on Wednesdays, it seems that I never arrive home from work before 20.30 – 21 no matter how early I get out.<\/p>\n
Last week I reached Retiro at around 17, hoped into a bus that was about to depart and tried to make myself comfortable in a not so soft seat. After crossing most of the city swift as it did so few times we enter into the highway. A couple of minutes later we reach a complete halt. There was a big accident and only one lane carried traffic.<\/p>\n
Besides the common spectacle of clowns riding alone on big cars there was the musical companion of raging claxons. I was a bit pissed but there wasn’t much to do about that, so I tried to rest.<\/p>\n
Yesterday was mostly the same, except that the queue at the bus stop was way longer than usual.
\nOverhearing some conversations I learned that they were going to a Coldplay show in La Plata. What a great timing.<\/p>\n
After seeing two buses depart I get to board one but there were no seats available. I hopped inside even if that was a rip off, as the next bus would take quite a bit to arrive.<\/p>\n
Despite being many laws and norms that forbid having standing passengers for journeys as large as this one this is actually a common situation for most of the day. The driver was generous this time and only allowed ten of us to travel standing.<\/p>\n
After a while I got a headache and using my backpack as a pillow I rested on the floor. There was a group of young girls wearing a lot of makeup and leather in a fashion that screamed “rich princess trying to look bad<\/em>” that gazed at me with an expression that conveyed something along the lines of “ugh, we have to share the ride with that hobo”<\/em>. But after a while when they realized that this was going to take more time than they expected they joined me at the floor.<\/p>\n The road was completed stuck. Besides the rush of people going back from work there was the storm of fans.<\/p>\n As Buck Dharma used to say, time is the essence <\/em>. So much of it wasted.<\/p>\n Yay.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Somehow on Wednesdays, it seems that I never arrive home from work before 20.30 – 21 no matter how early I get out.
