也许你曾因挤不上公交，眼巴巴地看着它离你越走越远，而上班时间离你越来越近而心急如焚；也许你曾因终于挤上公交，可一只陌生的大脚却无情地落在你崭新的Nike鞋尖上而无奈不已；也许你曾有幸找到一个座位，可屁股还没坐稳就听见售票员说“急着上班的同志请在这里下车，前面堵车极其严重”，为此你觉得生活总和你过不去；
Five years ago, when I had a nine-to-five job, I commuted to work — two to three hours to the office, four to five hours home. I did that every day for three full years. I’ve got the stubs from the bus companies to prove it. |
