AHHHHHHH!! My membership's about to expire! I have to wait till next week to get my new credit card to pay for it. If I'm gone for a little while, that's why.
In other news, I made the grievous error of accidentally spraying my hardwood floor with furniture polish today. I didn't think it was such a big deal and used my rag to wipe it up. About an hour later, I stepped in that spot and promptly slid out, landing directly on my ass. I don't think anything's broken though...I've already broken my tailbone once in the last year. The last thing I need is a repeat performance.
My car just about got towed this morning (again...would have been fifth time THIS YEAR!!). Apparently I was four metres from the end of the street and I needed to be six. Hell I've seen cars park in the spot behind me and not get towed. I swear the city of Vancouver is out to get me! From now on whenever you see a meter maid or a tow-truck driver, send bad kharmic thoughts their way.
Just realized I'm out of cancer sticks. Brb. Okay, I'm back. I went to my closet and realized that my jacket was in my car and since I didn't want to walk in the rain to my car, I grabbed my work jacket and threw it on. When I got into the convenience store the clerk was all "You're a bus driver? No way?" What? Because I'm young, female, pierced, tattooed? I've heard it all. I replied with "Nah, I just wear this to get a free ride on the bus" He then proceeded to ID me. "You do realize that you have to be over 19 to drive a bus eh?" Jackass!

It sucks, and it's as though you can't park anywhere, and if you do, you take your life into your own hands...
UGH.
The important thing is that you're good, you didn't get towed, and you don't have to deal with the headache of Busters towing... shudder.
As for the floor incident... I'm glad you're okay, and I do have to admit I did imagine some sort of cartoon where your leg flew up, there was a tuft of "dust" on the ground before you fell. I've been there, and hey - You won't ever do it again, and your ass is in fantastic shape! So... there we go. I have a friend who broke their tailbone and, yipes... I wouldn't wish that on anyone. ESPECIALLY when you drive a bus? WTF. ouch.
People, to this day, still seem to have no respect for people that have tats or piercings... It's just typical old school thinking, and it's close minded.
The thing to think about, though, is that maybe what, 10 years ago, you never would have gotten a job with Coast Mountain, and now you've been able to secure a job in a field that's pretty damn difficult to get into.
So in some ways, people have matured... but then in others, they're still old school small minded thinkers =/
