math patterns

here is something i've noticed that leads me to believe there's something going on with buses they're not telling us:

• if i leave my house to catch the bus EXACTLY on time, i am RIGHT on time for work.
• if i leave my house just 30 seconds late, i am 12 minutes late to work!

now i have not tested further coordinates, but if i take one of the more common graphs out of a math book, it appears that buses have some mystical time-warping powers so that if one day i left my house just 10 minutes late, i would get to work approximately, like, 3 months late.


on the other hand, if i left early i could get to work in the past!

"i did!" -me [not true: because it doesn't exist yet.]
