snow days

Posted on November 28, 2006 | Filed Under Day to day

Only in Vancouver(?) can you be walking home in the dark in the snow bundled up in a coat, scarf, hat, gloves and have someone cycle by you wearing flip flops…

Another thing I dont really understand is how a couple days of snow can strain the transit system so much. The skytrains certainly arent running more often to accomodate the extra people taking trains instead of driving. And the buses…well today I stood in the freezing cold for 20 minutes while 5 buses of route 3 went by while i was waiting for a 8 or 19…i started to worry that my routes were even running since i never saw one of them yesterday either…I thought you had to wait for 20 minutes for a main route bus in rush hour in Victoria, not Vancouver…

Other than that, I love the cold! Being bundled up in warm coats (I love my new coat! Thanks Mom!) and scarves and today the sun is shining and the mountains looked so beautiful covered in snow!

Yay for snow!

I shake my fist at you…

Posted on November 9, 2006 | Filed Under Rants

Things that made me mad on Tuesday:

Waiting in line at a bank to pick up something for my work and having to wait for over 30 mins while the bank figured out what i could have explained to them in one.

Waiting in line at the post office and the unfriendly service i received.

Almost being shot full of someone else’s allergy medicine at my clinic. When the doctor said “So Verna, you are on the same dose as last time” and started filling up the needle, I said “HEY WAIT A MINUTE, IM NOT VERNA!”

Being constantly interrupted all day long by someone who cant handle anything themself.

Having to handle my most difficult crazy client at the same time as being constantly interrupted by someone who cant do anything themself.

Having to try to balance our daily reports while four men stand around me talking about sports/football/hockey in really loud voices.

Taking the bus home and having people blow their stinky dry-mouth/coffee/smokers breath on my head. (I got off two stops early and walked because i couldnt handle it. I started imagining i was breathing in deadly bacterial spores).

Craving cookies and baking them only to have them turn out more like butterscotch pancakes and burning the last batch anyways.

Life could be much worse, I dont really have anything to complain about. I think it was just a grumpy day. I feel better now.
