My head's stuck in the cupboard

Sweet Jesus!!

I left work at 5 o'clock and I've only just arrived home. It's 7.30.

I don't know what was happening in town but the traffic was insane.

It usually takes half an hour from the office into the bus station and it took an hour, then I sat waiting for the number 53 which didn't come, and didn't come, and didn't come and eventually I heard someone asking one of the relief drivers what was happening and she said that for some reason Sheffield City Centre was gridlocked. "I was supposed to be the driver for the 6 o'clock bus," she said and then pointed to the other drivers that were hanging around, "and he was the 10 past 5 driver and he was the half past five driver".

It was 20 to 7 by then so I decided, bollocks to that, and walked home.

It takes me about 40 minutes to walk home from town and I didn't see a single 53 bus in that time. If I'd decided to wait I'd probably still be there.

So now I'm going to drink tea and eat toast for a while.

What else as been happening....I can't think of anything. I think I'll to make some more toast.

I am slightly concerned about getting to work in the snow since I work in Fulwood and I catch a double decker bus up a big hill. I think the hiking boots might have to come out...

That would definitely be a good idea. That side of town always gets hid hardest it seems. Though we haven't had really bad snow for a few years now but I'd check with your colleagues as to what the busses are like in snow up there and keep a pair of hiking boots at work just in case.
