Reflections on the 44

As I said goodbye to the number 44 bus last week, I couldn't help but think about how my experiences on the bus reflected my overall work experience for the last four years...

....rushing every day, only to realize that no matter how much I rushed, I couldn't control things and my day was in the hands of someone else
....dealing with lots of obstacles in my path to getting done what I want to do
...and most importantly, often feeling like I was in the twilight zone because of the craziness of the people around me

But, more importantly, I recognized that I dealt with my frustration with both situations- the bus and the job- by knowing that ultimately, and eventually, they would be just temporary vehicles to get me to where I needed to go.
