General life grousing...
Jun. 3rd, 2008 09:56 amSo, the weather sucks, my anatomy is temporarily telling me to go hermit, my brain is doing the same thing. That steak I ate Sunday night apparently didn't sit as well with my insides as in the past. Generally feeling blah. It's mostly the weather, I think. Mouth is starting to heal, finally, but it's still irritating.
We had no power this morning, so the laptop was out when I woke up and couldn't make coffee or write on the bus. That was okay; the 121 is a hit or miss affair; sometimes we get a full-size bus, sometimes the short bus. Today, when the Metro tells us that ridership is up 20% across the county and the weather is awful, we got the short bus. Worse, the heater was going full blast; the air was miserably damp in there. A woman wearing coke-bottle glasses talked on her cell-phone far too loudly. Apparently with those glasses she can't read the new cell-phone etiquette signs. So Metro announces that they're considering cutting service in response to gas prices, and just packing us in tighter. Have these guys actually been on a fully-loaded 15 or 121 recently? You don't even have room to open up a paperback.
And they tell me it's only going to get worse.
