co-workers: you're here already? how long you been waiting? (i have no key to the door)
moi: about 45 minutes. (i bike/bus and get an earlier one to allow for problems. had to abandon the
bus one day
because the lift got jammed and the bus couldn't move with it down. everyone else stayed on. by the time i got to the office 20 minutes later there was still no sign of the bus).
i also bring a book which helps because i'm a voracious reader.
