Thank the good Lord, I survived the day. Long story, but I will do what I can to make it short. Fort Irwin (google it) bus service abruptly stopped so we took it over in 4 weeks time (usually take 7-9 months to take over). Then this morning massive amounts of people are calling because today is their pay day and the Fort stopped selling June passes yesterday (no, I have no idea why). So here I go out to the Fort. 2 hour drive there. The place is MASSIVE!!!! I tell the guard at the gate I need building 565 (there are over 950 buildings). He says "Good luck with that, the place is a maze". Seriously? Thanks, moron. After about 10 loops I found our buses so I knew I was close, parked and decided to hoof it. Big mistake. It was 108 degrees at the Fort today.
Got the passes, headed for Barstow city hall. Detours galore, gee thanks Cal Trans. I FINALLY made it back to work at 2:10 pm (I left at 9:45 am) and there were already people there lined up to buy the passes I just arrived with.
I came back to over 30 emails - every last one of them about the Fort. This place is gonna be the death of me.
I am woman, hear me roar.
