The Bad News Is The Good News Ain't So Great

Good News #1: I made it to my office this morning. Took me nearly two hours, between the long wait for buses, the elongated serpentine snow-routes, and the fact that some buses just never showed up at all. So, I ended up walking the last two miles, roughly from the University of Washington to my office 40th & Aurora, because none of the east-west routes on 40th were running due to icy hills.

Bad News #1: Once there, I couldn't actually get into my office, because neither of my co-workers were there, nor was the building maintenance staff, and I haven't seen my set of keys since Wednesday.

Good News #2: On a hunch I went around to the walkway between our building and the condos next door, and took a peek through my ground-floor window. Sure enough, the keys were sitting on my desk where I'd accidentally left them Wednesday afternoon. So, at least I know they didn't fall out of my pocket on a Metro bus, which essentially would have meant never seeing them again.

Bad News #2: Of course, I still couldn't retrieve said keys (see: Bad News #1 above).
