...spoke french, and I couldn't really remember any french except for "Combien..?" So that failed. Then I was still broke, so I was like, hey, I'll go pickpocket someone. So i went and stole this lady's CTA pass card thing, but then I felt too guilty and threw it away. Then I was getting close and closer to the border, which had super tight security. And then Bruce turned up with his car, so we were...
There's an old racist joke I remember from my childhood which goes: Q: What has four arms, four legs, and goes, "Ho-dee-do! Ho-dee-do!" A: Two black men running for the elevator. I didn't hear this from...in front of their cabs. In fact, it can border on the annoying as the train make two or even three false starts out of the station. And it shouldn't make any difference at all for elevators.
An overweight passenger, with eight kids (varying in age within a year of each other), was arrested for perpetrating a scam on the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA). The event occurred during rush hour traffic. Turns out, the woman brought two of her children on board. She directed the children to act a fool in order to distract the bus driver and passengers from her six other children who tried to sneak...
I wentdowntown today for another interview. The last one went really well: it sounded like a great job, one I'd be good at and enjoy. Unfortunately, it also turned out to be an unpaid internship. Thus...company, which are not nearly enough to pay attention to her while she ignores them. She's not too spoiled. But she will attack my yarn and/or bookshelf if snubbed, so I'm off to run interference
...screwing around before I had to get down to business. It makes me feel better to realise that it wasn't simple laziness that's been keeping me in bed a bit longer, but the general fuckedness of the CTA. I remember it being worse earlier in the rush hour, but whoa nellie! Today I left at 7:42, which with good connexions means an arrival at work by 8:30. I got to the platform by 7:50. At 7:56, a...
My 30 day pass spontaneously stopped working for 2 days. Suddenly it's good again with no explanation whatsoever. Also the bus here was so packed I practically need rape counseling.
I think I'm about THIS close to writing an angry letter to the Red Eye about jerk ass people who don't give up their seats for old people. I watched 2 old ladies (like in their late 60's) get on the bus...smoke cigars in while they watch the boast on the lake go by. I am not an old man nor will I be smoking cigars but I will look at the boats on the lake while I enjoywine and cheese. Top THAT, universe
I've got to say I love post-it notes. I'm one of those out-of-sight-out-of-mind people. I don't remember things unless I've got a huge glaringreminder. So I often got an array of different colored post...voice. In fact, while I'm at it, I may just throw a senior citizen out of their seat just for fun. At least until someone promises to turn off these loud Orwellian recordings and let us all ride in peace
