This morning was fun trying to get to work. I got to the Sbahn and almost immediately heard an announcement that the Sbahn in my direction was temporarily only going two stations further because of an accident further on. My work is six stops further down the line. Great. So I stood there a minute deciding what to do and did my good samaritan deed of telling the Lufthansa guy who came after the announcement.
I decided to try going to the main train station in my town and taking a Regional Train to the main train station in Frankfurt. However, the next bus was in 15 mins and while I knew (because I called work) that a train left there in 18 mins, I also knew three mins wasn't enough time to get there. And since I know that trains also start running about once an hour after rush hour, I decided to try another route. Off to the bus stop (a few streets over, but closer to my house) that will take me to a Ubahn stop. Ah....I missed that bus by 5 and it doesn't run again until another 20 min. Sigh. Sit and crochet for a while. Then I decided that maybe the Sbahn was running again, and since I still had 15 min to wait for the bus, I could go check. So I did, and it was running. Yeah. It only took an extra half hour and lots of extra walking to get to work, but I made it.
However, somewhere along the way my grocery bag with lunch in it disappeared. :( I might have left it at home, but I'm not sure. Sigh.
