Going Home

What do you do when you've missed your last bus home?

Experimental studies have shown that there are three possible solutions to this problem :

1. Beg available good friend who has access to a car to come fetch you.
2. In the event Method 1 fails, resignedly decide to take the cold and long 30 minute walk home.
3. Alternatively, if said opportunity reveals itself, beg train operator at station to let you up the train for free. Note that this is only possible if a)it is only one stop b)you are one of two girls looking extremely cold and miserable c)your companion is able to come up with a sufficiently plausible yarn that appeals to train conductor's chivalrous nature d)train conductor is not averse to letting you work for your ride.

And so Method 3 was exactly what we did. Including the work. Got to announce the Palo Alto station over the intercom to appease conductor's favor (or whim) *lol* In short, we interviewed, worked for 5 minutes, and got a free ride as our payment. *LOL*

The things poor grad students do to save money.... hahahahaha
