Today's Adventure

I was awaken earlier then I was supposed to be by my roommate who's now out of town for almost 2 weeks.

I had a 9:30 interview. I went online and checked for a way to get to the interview via public transport.

Oh what a fiasco that turned out to be.

The information I got was completely wrong. I was told to get off of BART at 16th St. and Mission. Which was where I was supposed to be able to pick up MUNI line 28.

The problem with this, MUNI line 28 goes nowhere near Mission. It goes through Park Persidio , over by the Golden Gate Bridge and to Daly City BART...

So, nowhere near where I was told to go.

I spent an hour on several buses to find that out. I didn't find that out until I was at Daly City BART looking at a map of San Francisco with the MUNI bus lines on it.

Luckily, I had told the person that I was interviewing with that I was having problems getting there. He called me back and I asked if I could reschedule because I got hopelessly lost. By the time I had it sorted out it was almost 10. Unfortunately that's a bit unacceptable for being late.

I also learned that I should have gone with my gut instinct to have gotten off at Daly City BART instead of going to Mission.

And while I hate missing appointments that I set. I'm not that upset about missing this one. It was a temporary job. And I have a gut feeling that I really wouldn't enjoy it either.

However, I do like an adventure. And I learned exactly how to get to SF State from Daly City BART if I wind up going there to finish my degree... Now all I need is to figure out how to get to the University of San Francisco.^-^
