Crowded and chilly
Against all expectations there's still snow - it was supposed to rain last night but it's colder than expected. I feel dumb, I should have known that the busses are still irregular - but while passing some time (so I wouldn't be too early, sheesh!) and looking at teapots I managed to miss 99, and the next one took it's sweet time. People are so greedy - lines for 99 can be very long (these are long jointed busses), so some people will try to skip the queue by getting in through the back doors. This really pissed off the bus driver, so he announced at some point: "if someone tries to get in through the back doors, just shove them out - they need to get into the queue like everyone else... [pause] Don't be afraid!" It caused some giggles, and humor is what you need in a crowded bus where everyone is squished against each other, and the homeless guy who is there to warm up stinks the place to high heaven.
And I ended up missing my class because I was too late. Two hours round trip to get home, and chilled to the bone because I had expected a warmer weather.
