oof, angie. good luck with that. when i nap i try to set several alarms so I'll somehow wakeup lol. even then, i still sometimes sleep through the alarms
 
I just ate something pretty big so here's hoping I KO within the next idk hour and a half or so. x.x I can't even afford to sleep super late these days out of fear of missing the time window for my first bus.

... Alas, that's the downside of having a disgustingly far commute.
 
I don't rely on my inner clock anymore. If I have to wake up at any time earlier than like, 6 AM, then I have to set an alarm, or I risk oversleeping. .-.

And like, I don't want to become to dependent on alarms because I'm going to miss the days where I... didn't have to rely on them as much orz.

The end of the story: we where about 800m away from that thing. They ended up evacuating within a 1km radius so I got off of work about 1.5 hours early. Everything went fine.

Never mind limited public transportation, how about limited safety? You don't seem very concerned!!

Wishing you the best of luck.

I see your concern. However, if there's one thing Germans are really good at, it's being overly protective, always trying to make things as secure as possible. It may be annoying in some instances, but at least in worst case scenarios they do a pretty good job in keeping things under control.
 
Good morning!

I walked into work and the a/c seems to be out :< oh boy
 
I fell asleep on my bus and missed my stop but luckily the Lyft to my job was like 2 bucks.

It's pretty clear waking up disgustingly early is NOT my thing. ;_;
 
Oh no :( I'm glad it was cheap. Missing your stop due to falling asleep sucks. So much so, that I make sure to set an alarm in transit when I'm extremely drowsy. From my experience, Google is pretty good at estimating when I'll arrive at my stop.

And broken A/C when it's this hot? Uh-oh.
 
Public transportation sounds like a pain...

Here you either drive yourself or you're screwed, though, and that also has pros and cons. oof

Angie, you got a $2 Lyft?? what the heck, nice.

Uber wanted $20 from me for a five minute trip to work when my car died once.
 
I'll take public transit over the costs and time it requires to maintain a car. Though, I live in a place with good public transit so at least I have that option. It's insane how so many places basically force you to need a car.
But like... living in an area with good public transit, I don't understand why anyone would choose to drive instead of take transit. What, don't you love sitting for 2 hours in traffic everyday instead of taking a 30 minute bus ride?

I doooo kind of have to agree; though I think it kinda applies more to those who have good transit options o:

But overall I kinda do prefer rising a bus than taking a car. It's more eco friendly too!
 
our public transit isn't the best here, either. i also have to do a bit of long distance traveling (an hour or two away) so having a car is convenient @_@ I kinda wish I didn't have to deal with it though. It's so expensive lmao
 
Thing is with regards to Car(Driving) vs. Mass Transit, you're leaving out a glaring point: Cost of Living. If you can't afford to live in an area with good access to Mass Transit, Grocery Stores and other necessities, you're going to have to move out in the suburbs to where you can afford it. This, unfortunately, leads to needing a Car(or a Vehicle) just to get to Work. Where I am, its not uncommon to find rent averaging $2k a month(if not above that). Meaning just to make ends meet, you'd have to earn at least $20/hour for putting a roof over your head, utilities and food. Want to buy a home as opposed to rent? Good luck finding one for less than $500k where I am.
