Work is great and I love the people, but when I got off work at 2pm I learned a valuable lesson.
Having sat at the bus stop for half an hour I decided it would be prudent to call and see when the next bus was coming. The first lesson of the story is this: The Fucking Buses don't run in Aurora on Sunday!!!!
That left the light rail as my ride home, and thank goodness it's only a 3 hour walk from my work!
I have a relatively clear schedule outside of work so a walk didn't sound to bad. The wind that kicked up twenty minutes in wasn't even able to dissuade me and the rain that started an hour in only reinforced the idea that I should walk faster.
Second lesson from today: When living in a mountain city it is wise to own a coat.
A sincere good note: as I passed La Quinta (the hotel) on the walk I saw a couch and two cushioned chairs hidden behind a dumpster.
I went for three hours and walked over seven miles! My legs still don't love me,
Lesson 3: people in Aurora don't pick up hitch hikers.
After the 45 minute train ride to Colorado Blvd. Colin (my current and future roommate) suggested via phone that I wait at the station for a mutual friend with a truck to pick me up so we could go and get the furniture. It didn't sound like a bad idea and at around 7 pm (Remember I got off work at two?) We went back to Spanish themed land marker from my death walk and grabbed the slightly damp living room set for our new apartment. At 7:45 I finally got home and got lesson 4: Get a car.
The apartment is downtown and on the tenth floor facing the city!!! we're stoked
