I woke up extra early today to welcome the new week. You know what happened? Just as I was about to walk out the door, my iPod froze. That forced me to grab the power adapter so I could restart it. That made me a minute late to catch the early bus. That made me had to get on the next express bus, which was an older model bus. The bus driver of this bus was super slow, mainly because the bus itself was super slow. The bad traffic along Steeles made things worse. So what would normally be a 40-minute bus ride took over an hour.

Compound on top of that a very slow Tuesday morning for the subway. Triptonin from the turkeys must have gotten to everyone running the subway.

There was a train pile-up at Finch station. I got on the next train that was scheduled (read: shed-duled) to leave but it didn't leave till 5 minutes after I had gotten on. And it was already full when I got on which tells me that that particular train has been there for quite some time. At around Sheppard station an announcement blares through the TTC PA system. There's a medical emergency south of... Museum, I think. So the train starts to crawl.

The good news is that I got to work at 09h00. The bad news is that I was supposed to get there at 08h30. So much for planning ahead.
