Shrugs

For once I have time to update, but my brain isn't working and just too tired to crank out all the stories I have especially since starting at the hospital 4 weeks ago. I can't believe I've completed 4 weeks at St. Luke's already. I'm 1/3 of the way through, 8 weeks left. Time has flown by, thankfully. I've enjoyed my time there, but the commute sucks. There are days I don't get to my house until after 7:00pm. So you'll have to wait for another day when I give you stories. Well I'll tell you this one.

You wouldn't think riding Metro there would be drama, but this Friday morning there was and it prevented me from my 50 minute nap in the morning =( So the bus pulls out of the transit center and is about to turn onto the ramp to get on the HOV. Then you start hearing this shrieking and yelling as though someone was hurt outside. The driver didn't really hear anything but people on the bus were like hey someone's yelling outside. So then he hears this scream and stops. This asian lady, maybe in her 50s runs around the front of the bus and starts knocking on the door screaming let me on, let me on. The driver says no, he can't. It's unsafe and against the rules. He kept repeating this but finally opens the door bc the lady kept yelling and didn't step away from the bus. So she gets on and starts screaming at the driver tell him she's late and he left too early blah blah blah. Except she was in the wrong! He leaves at 6:29 am every day. I get on the same bus with the same driver every morning and so do a lot of ppl on the bus. Eventually he lets her on, telling her he's making him and everyone late! She's still going on and on about how he's suppose to leave at 6:34 which doesn't make sense because she was telling him she was running late?! Weirdo. Then she proceeds to ask him again what time he leaves this park and ride and then what time he leaves Kingsland (the station before mine), 6:09. Then she had the audacity to tell the driver that there is no bus that leaves Addicks (my station) at 6:29. By now everyone on the bus is perturbed by this lady. All the people around her were like, yes this bus leaves at 6:29 every morning. So THEN she whips out her bus schedule, asks him again what time he leaves Kingsland and Addicks. He tells her, she looks, and doesn't say another word. What the heck?! What an idiot! 20 mins of this and me not sleeping because I chose to sit at the front of the bus and her sitting in front of me!

The best part is, when she got off the bus, she left a nice present (on purpose or not, who knows). It started to smell funny when she got off, then you hear the lady sitting next to her say OH MY GOSH! haha...the lady left what looks like a big chunk of raw meat with juices running from it! When I looked at it, it looked like thinly sliced beef defrosting...gross! That would be really weird if it just fell out of her bag and didn't have anything covering it and if she left it on purpose, what a waste (unless it was already spoiled and rude! That made the driver even more angry, man it's not even 7:30am yet! Well he asked people on the bus who would be witnesses just in case the lady calls in to complain. Although she was clearly in the wrong.

This was longer than I had intended and probably doesn't make much sense. Sorry. I'll try better next time!

Have a great Saturday, and enjoy the weather if you're in Houston!
