  "textContent": "by Anonymous\n\nAfter a week of recovering from a bad sprained ankle, in bed, and house bound, I went to work for 30 hrs instead of the normal 40 hrs. My job is 100% walking. Oh the pain every STEP of the way, and basically learning a new way to walk. First thing is, getting anywhere takes twice as long. Getting to the point, I may have been too ambitious with work, then grabbing some groceries because housebound, and getting to my bus which is doable within 30 min, but I allowed myself 45 min. Still, twice I missed the bus. The second time was a 12 hr day, which was my Fri. I was excited because it was my Fri and I made it through the work week. I have 4 options for getting home, with 3 routes having 20 min walks. Yes, I missed the bus taking me closest to my house and the next bus would've been 45 min. I chose a route home which can be very regretful and it was. It's a busy route, I knew. Dropping off or picking up every stop. I could've had a chance to meet up with my main bus, but here's why I should've known it wouldn't happen. Fucking people. Taking their time like they have all the time in the world. Can't find payment. Questions. Taking sweet as time loading a bike. Then, 2 ramps deployed. People who are very capable but just completely incompetent and needy. I have a fucking sprained ankle and did everything I could to not inconvenience anyone and all these fucking people have no problem inconveniencing anybody. What a nightmare. No wonder humanity is hopeless.",
