Oh, now I get it!

I went out the the trolley stop after my Legal English class today. I thought, "I just missed my trolley, how could I forget that I only have five minutes? Oh well, I've got 17 minutes till the next one, I'll see if I can find a kibinas."

That's because I only had a banana and orange for lunch, but I was pretty hungry. I just wanted to be moving around really, also, because it's so cold. I crossed one street and then I saw a promising place, and then another street to get to it: Greek Kebabs. There was a sign in the window for kebabs in a pita for five lits, which is only double what I expected to pay for a kibinas. Good deal!

As they made me my kebab I still had eight minutes left to make the three minute walk to the bus stop. However, shockingly, I saw my trolley roll right by. I thought, "Can this possibly be an eight minute long red light?!" Alas no, either the last trolly was ten minutes late, or the next one was seven minutes early. Shit!

I walked back to the bus stop with my kebab, and saw that the next trolley was in 17 more minutes. At least I could eat in peace (it's probably illegal to eat kebabs on the trolley). Soon after I finished my kebab, which was a pretty good one, incidentally, the trolley came...ten minutes early! "Wow," I thought, "maybe somethings blocking traffic between here and the beginning of the route or something."

When I got to work I checked the trolley schedule online to see if it had changed or something. Furthermore, according to my google calendar, the times I expected the trolley match neither the schedule posted at the stop nor what I have noted in my planner. Then I realized: I was looking at 12 o'clock times instead of 1 o'clock times. Oops.
