So the snow started about noon. I was going to post that i have a really nice manager. He sent around an email and said we could leave at 3 if we wanted to because of the weather. Only it didn't really work out too well in the end. I just missed one buss and waited about 10 minutes for another one. It got to the terminal 5 minutes too late for one connection for my route. My route? Never came. I waited 45 minutes. I'm cold and severely pissed off watching one after another bus pull in. Not my bus, or Out of Service which they do if the bus on a route is really late. Meanwhile every other bus comes by, some more than once. There were a couple i could have got on that would have got me close but i kept thinking mine would be pulling in any time. I gave up and got one of those, as did about 80 others who crammed on to the bus only meant to seat 40. I did get a seat though, and got off a couple of blocks from my place and walked. Uphill. Not that much of a hill but when you're fat and out of shape, it's the last fucking straw. Baby steps up the hill and i got home finally, later than i would normally getting off at 4! Ok, manager still nice letting us off but it wasn't much good to me in the end. Next time there are other ways and means and roundabout routes that i guess i'll take where i can walk a few blocks and get home instead of standing around waiting in vain.

Oh boy I can relate to that one...f&cking #53!!!
I know what you mean about baby steps...paint could dry quicker than me walking in snow/on ice.

Yes! The sidewalks weren't cleared and though there wasn't heaps of snow, there was a few cm. down and you still had to walk carefully.
