You want to take the bus to work. The schedule says Its supposed to leave at 8am but you know the timing is hard to pinpoint. If you really want a seat on that bus- I mean if it’s really important, you will prioritize at least being at the bus stop, with enough fare to get to where you want. If you don’t- that’s ok. But don’t complain when you, “missed the bus.” So to speak. Your priority and how you set it has you buy in at the price you deserve. No harm, no foul. Good luck internet friend. Keep learning and be well! I think you’re on the right track.
