So I'm going to take the DART bus tomorrow for the first time since I was 6 years old. Needless to say, it's been a few years. Or decades really.
I tend to get super anxious about doing these types of things and making sure I don't screw up and make a nuisance of myself. I have a day pass on my phone in the app. How do I use it when I get on the bus? Is there a place I need to scan it or do I just show it to the bus driver? Do I need to pull for my stop or is it automatic?
I know this seems really silly but it is the type of thing that can cause me ridiculous amounts of stress.
I went full-time work from home in 2019. When I switched jobs to a hybrid position, they provided a full gourmet lunch in office every day. In my new job, I actually am delighted to be back in a role where I get to make bentos for the office three days a week again!
Sweet and spicy soy ground turkey, lemon herb potatoes, sesame shichimi asparagus, and grapes with clementine. And my favorite bento box from my old Japan days!
