How things just turn out okay

I noted this after two instances in two consecutive days, within 12 hours of each other. That would be this morning Friday, and last night Thursday.

The first instance is with me driving the bus as my work entails, which on this route basically means going around and around in a ~3.5 mile circle. On the loop I go around eight times within a little over 3 hours. There are four buses on that loop, two clockwise and two counterclockwise. I drive clockwise.

But the other clockwise bus, I noticed at the end of my shift, that it was right in front of me. In other words, completely behind schedule. Now, seeing as how we were almost done with our shifts, I wanted to finish on time so that I could go home on time. But while I was slowed down behind the other bus, I picked up an unexpected passenger.

This passenger was the relief bus driver for one of the counterclockwise buses. She had missed her own bus. If I had been a little faster, she would have been late to work entirely!

Ironically at the end of this story, my own relief was late and I ended my shift late anyway.

The second insatance was in the morning. My apartment mate and I needed to get to school at about the same time, so she gave me a lift in her car. However, the place I needed to be was on the opposite side of campus that she parked at; her parking location is completely far and inconvenient from where she herself needed to go, but there was a guarantee that parking spots could be found--something that can't be said for other, nearer lots.

I got more time to get ready in the morning since I left with her later than I would have if I took the bus. She was pressing to go because she thought she would be late if she needed to drop me off before getting parking.

She dropped me off in the parking lot near where I needed to be--and lo and behold, found a convenient parking spot in that very lot that was much closer to where she needed to be! How things just turn out okay like that...
