Commuting

Monday I had a job interview in Bellevue, so I decided to take the ferry.  25 minutes from my house to the ferry, 35 minute ferry ride, 15 minute drive to Bellevue.  Easy peasy, right?  Yeah, not so much.  The wait for the ferry there wasn't bad because it was during the slow part of the day.  But if I was to take it to work every morning I'd probably have to take the 6:20 boat which means leaving my house by 5:10 at the latest to make sure I made it on the boat. would get off the boat about 7 and then at that time of the morning it would probably take almost 30 minutes to get to Bellevue. So almost 2 1/2 hours of travel time.  But that's just the morning.  I left Bellevue at 4:45, made it to the ferry by 5:00 (next boat was 5:30), missed that ferry because it was too full and had to wait until the 6:20 boat that night.  Got to Bainbridge Island at 7 and then home at 7:40 because of an accident blocking the road.  so another almost 3 hours! That's just crazy to me!!
