Monday follies

So, I’m out there at the bus stop and here’s this woman picking up her kid at an ETS bus shelter. Happens all the time. What made it so unusual was she had the kid with her and her cell phone in one ear and talking to the bus driver holding the door open. Mean while there’s my bus closing in fast. I’m worried that the ETS driver thinks I’m with the woman picking the kid up and swerves away and leaves me behind because of this inconsiderate bitch. My bus meanwhile is coming up fast. I had to walk beside the school bus to get to my bus and I let the bitch know I’m pissed off. The driver though realized she’s hoarding the bus stop accommodating the woman with a cell phone in her ear with her kid already with her freezing the other kids inside and meanwhile here’s my bus almost upon me. So the bus driver realizes “Oh I’m hoarding an ETS bus stop.” and moves out of the way. Jesus Christ already. I let that bitch know that I was pissed off as well. The cell phone bitch was oblivious to everything as it was. Ok, that exactly didn’t put me in a good mood on my way in. I was able to board my bus but I shouldn’t have to have obstacles in my way trying to board the bus. That’s not why I pay $66 a month for. Next time this happens and the cell phone bitch is out there, I’ll be cordial and ask politely to move it along. If she doesn’t then I’ll be calling the Police. Anyway, I caught my bus and a brief wait for my train at Clairview. I cracked open my book and decided to read the next story. Off at Corona station and a walk into the office.

I got Bud’s dialer and a quick look at OTH team bonus board and, we’re tied again. Another $25. So if I get that without the Scamtini factor involved then great. We did the “Asthma Allergy Foundation.” I was doing really well. I got a $75 sale and a bunch of big taps and by break I was at $705. I ended up pulling in $1,130. What a bang up night. Here's a photo I took last night of Sporty in the laundry basket. Thought you folks might like it.

Anne called at break and I gave her a brief rundown of the bus incident. Also, the Oiler’s were winning 3-0 playing Calgary at Rexall. I called Anne but I realized she left her phone at home because she disabled her feature for a few days.

I hurried across the parking lot and into Corona. As I was about half way down the stairs, there was my Clairview Train just pulling in. Another few moments and I would have missed it. I got home and the Oiler/Flame game was in progress. What 5-0 Oiler’s? Amazing! They actually won a game. That’s 53 points now! Then they showed the next up coming games and the Oiler’s play Saturday night in Calgary. The grudge match. The Flames are lousy on the road but are almost unbeatable at home. Even though the Oiler’s are going to lose, I’ll still watch the game. What made the Oiler win extra sweet was having that has been Curtis Joseph lose to an Oiler team at the top of their game. And all this with having Sean Horcoff out for the rest of the season with a shoulder injury. He has 21 goals and might have been on pace for 30. This stuff always happens to the Oiler’s. Penner is sitting at 16 but the best I think he’s going to do this season is about 20 goals. Maybe 25 but that’s like what 27 games? The Oiler’s need a goal scorer before trade deadline. So does everyone else.

Raw, wasn’t bad tonight. On a scale from 1-10, I’d rate tonight’s show at 7/10. And that’s being generous. I liked the Vince showing tough love to Hornshloggle to join the “kiss my ass club” and he bites Vince on the Ass. Cute.

Damn, another day with no writing in. That’s going to change tomorrow. I’m going to do some extra hours this week for sure.

Anyway, that’s all for now.
