riding the bus (or not)

I have had to get use to a new hours at work. Today, I left at 5 PM and forgot to check the bus sched. before I walked out. I stood at the stop for a grand total of 5 mins. before then deciding to grab a quick coffee at "Mickey D`s". Obviously, it wasn't quick enough. When I came out, coffee in hand, the bus was already at my stop. In mid-sip of the foul tasting (and smelling) sludge, there was nothing I could do to make it wait. It took off without me and I cursed myself for being so impatient.
