Dec. 21st, 2004 12:17 amGah, Sudbury locals! BAH to them all.
I went to buy my bus ticket to NYC today.... but it was not to be. The guy was overcharging me. I told him that my dad had gone in TO to get it last week but that he couldn't buy it because even if he had my student card # he was not the student... which sucks but I do understand it. But the Greyhound guy here told me that there are different bus deals in TO than they have and he can only charge me what the computer says. I asked him if he could call the TO station and verify the price and he wouldn't do it.
Firstly, shouldn't the bus company operate with ONE computer system that has the same prices everywhere. Why should those who aren't privvy to knowledge about prices in TO miss out on deals?
Secondly, the guy could have so called the TO station to see what was up... he was charging me last years price anyways... which I know had gone up before the student deal my dad found out about started, so he's still using the wrong information.
Oh the north, how I loathe the society here, so backwards sometimes. I know this is why people here say that they hate people from TO, because we all seem like snobs. But really now, do you want to be ripped off because your system isn't up to speed with the southern system?
I also had a white trash family cut infront of me in line at Zellers today.... all I wanted was my spoons for beating fudge so I can make it tomorrow... but no people had to cut in line. I made lots of rude comments to them.... felt kinda bad cuz the woman had her two kids with her, but they were teenagers so they're old enough to know better too.
I miss the city life.
I also bussed home from work today in a freaking blizzard. Actually a lady offered me a ride when I was walking to the bus stop but as nice as that is I'm always somewhat suspect of getting into cars with strangers. Carla Homolka taught us all that lesson, women can kill too. It's sad but I seriously felt better about walking to my bus stop and waiting for the bus in freezing temperatures and a blizzard than getting into some strangers car. I've only ever taken a ride from a stranger once up here... and I was on edge the whole time but I was going to be late to meet Nomi to get our bus to TO before we went to NYC if I didn't take the ride... not a smart choice but I did it anyways. Also the guy was small, I figured if worse came to worse then I had a fighting chance. But barring emergencies I just cannot bring myself to get into some strangers car all by myself.
Ugh I feel sick, I've not been eating well these past few days, only about one actual meal a day... I keep thinking that I feel like how Kristin must feel every day. I know I should eat but by the time I have time to eat I just feel ill so I don't want to eat. Tomorrow I must eat better, I want to stay healthy for my own holidays. NYC is actually soon now as Ava reminded me :D It makes me all giddy.
Oh and I just found out that there are NO busses that run here on Christmas Day so I'll be stranded in res. I'm pretty glad about that, it means that I'm not stuck celebrating Christmas with another family, I can just have a genuine day off.
