My opinions, updates on my life, all sorts of "randomness"...

So my morning could seriously have been straight out of a sitcom. One of those shows where too many bad slash 'funny to everyone else' things happen in too short a time period leaving the audience saying, 'no way, not realistic.'

So I walked out my front gate just in time to see my bus heading up the street. Not wanting to miss it, I did the normal city thing and started running towards the bus stop. Then, in typical Shosh fashion, I tripped over absolutely nothing and went flying towards the ground, computer bag and all. A combination of laughter and obscenities slipped out of my mouth, sat there for a moment, then realized my bus was stopped at a red light next to the stop. So I picked myself up off the ground, and forced myself to run (again) towards the bus, waving like a moron towards the bus driver who wasn't paying the slightest bit of attention to me. He finally saw me, stopped the bus, and I got on. Pretty flustered at this point, and the pain from my fall starting to set in, I fumbled for my CTA card, and then tried unsuccessfully to put my card in the coin slot for a few minutes. When I realized what I was doing, I tried the next slot over, and with a woosh, my card was gone. Stood there for a second, not realizing what had happened and where my card had gone, until I noticed the picture under the slot. Of a dollar bill. So on top of the fact that I had just lost my card with $18 on it, Mr. Insensitive Bus Driver made me pay another $2 fare!! And now my leg is all sore...
