Riding the Bus

I forgot how fun it was to ride the bus in downtown Portland. 4 days into my new job, I've already seen so much to remind me how different the people are in Portland, OR than they are in West Lafayette, IN. Every day is a new adventure. So far, I've been treated to the soap opera of the girl who is cussing at her grandmother and having a nervous breakdown over the phone. I'm sure there will be more exciting crazy people to see soon. In addition, a 30 minute ride on the bus in West Lafayette would mean tarvelling multiple miles, crossing a river, and getting into a new city. In Portland, there's always the possibility for a 30 minute travel stretch that encompasses a mere 3 blocks,

I may sound sarcastic, but I actually enjoy taking the bus into work. Its really nice to not have to deal with driving to work, especially now since the office I work at is so much further into the gut of downtown. I'm not exactly the worlds best driver, so I am sure the drivers of Portland appreciate it as well.

Back later, with more "nonsense" to write. These blogs may not be exciting to read, but at least so far I am proving half my name.
