today should have a three-strike policy and be canceled.

So far this morning:
1. Too slow getting up and moving, bolted down a bowl of instant oatmeal instead of my usual breakfast, which made me feel nauseous for no apparent reason.
2. Made it out the door on time, only to discover that my usual 7:30am bus came and went early (unheard of -- usually it's late), so I walked to the metro instead.
3. Just missed a train. The next one was a long time coming and was PACKED, and then proceeded to stop and sit between every. single. station.
4. Got to work about ten minutes late to find a homeless person and all his stuff parked in our lobby, demanding to speak with someone. Not sure who let him in, as I'm the person who UNLOCKS the lobby doors in the morning. Spent the first ten flustered minutes of my day cajoling our unexpected guest (with contact info for legal resources; our organization doesn't provide direct legal services, which no one seems to understand).
5. Went upstairs to print the daily schedule to discover someone else's print job jammed the thing last night; had to fix that and wait for their stuff to print before I could get my one-page schedule.

That took me to 8:30am. If this is how the day is starting, I really don't want to find out what else is on its way. Can I go back to bed now?

All the buses are early! My 7:45 bus is always reliably at 7:45 or later, but it was juuuust early enough today that if I hadn't seen it coming and sprinted across the street and then the light turned red, I wouldn't have made it.

Seriously, WTF DC transit.
