Where's hammerhead when you need him?

I hate to have to drop a $20 bill to get to work, all the more so when the only person to blame is myself for oversleeping. Oh well, at least I’m sleeping again. But when I finally flag down a taxi, I expect the cabbie to actually know how to get from the Castro to Fisherman’s Wharf.

Honestly, I have no idea whether taking Franklin would be faster than some other option. I just know that a car will get me there faster than the bus. I expect a cab driver to actually know how to get from point A to point B in this city. Sure, not everyone has all the shortcuts, but AAAAARGH. This is from one common destination to another.

Well, he got me here in 20 minutes, which left me only 10 minutes late to work, and that’s 40 minutes faster than taking the bus would have been. It’s time for me to wind up the alarm clock again. I seriously can’t afford a $20/day transportation habit at this point.
