Gridlock

On Monday evening about 6pm I was doing the route 437 into the city. The northern end of George St was gridlocked. It took me 40 minutes to get from the Sydney Town Hall to Circular Quay, a distance of less than 2 km. The rain probably had something to do with it.

As it was, it was my last run. I returned to the depot after I (finally) got to Circular Quay. I arrived at the depot about 30 minutes after I was scheduled to. For this I get half an hour extra pay. I claim this by writing it on my driver’s journal and getting the depot inspector to sign it. This is done with no questions asked.
