i didn't end up going to the market research. i discovered i could leave home really early and get there with 45 wasted minutes to spare or leave home 30 minutes later and get there 30 minutes late... i also would have had to spend $15 on bus fares as the place i was going to is outside of the range of my yearly ticket. decided it was pointless.
found this

and this funky clock (ho, if you are reading this, i think you will like the clock...)
