My Bus Adventure

On Monday, I decided I was taking a few hours off to attend a corporate event that would detail the plans for the company for the year with dinner and drinks included and also the possibility to win prizes.

It was an entire adventure to arrive there. I am surprised I made it. Here is the MSN conversation I had with STaRBOrN detailing the adventure: (Which normally takes maximum 15 minutes of bus to arrive at the metro; it took me one hour and forty minutes)

~LUSHIOUS~ says:
So I am on the bus but traffic is not moving AT ALL
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
Amazing
<> says:
yeah i could imagine...that sucks
<> says:
when you hit metro it'll be lightning fast
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
Yes but I have had it take over an hour to get to the metro, normally
about 10 minutes away
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
And today seems like it will be one of those days
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
None of the 520 or the service road is moving really
<> says:
its distgusting outside
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
Ok, now it has started a bit
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
And I got a seat
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
So it's survivable
<> says:
thats a good thing...for 2 years i had to stand on my way home from work
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
I was debating skipping the corporate dinner thing
<> says:
why ?
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
But I will go and just leave early if I am too tired
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
Tired
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
But I doubt I will sleep anyway
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
I think I am just tired from the callers
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
Today was very horrible
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
Oh g-d, the bus driver is now playing pan flute music really loudly
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
Why does g-d hate me?
<> says:
i have no idea
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
Oh g-d you really have to hear this music
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
It is something else
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
I might just cry honestly
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
Can you try to find why this highway is not moving at all?
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
Hello?
<> says:
im gonna check
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
Thanks
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
Cuz I may just try walking at this point
<> says:
i dont see anything noteable
<> says:
everywhere is like code red...as in "slow" moving
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
This is absolutely ridiculous
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
It's not moving at all
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
It's not even fast enough to be considered slow
<> says:
lol...that's awful
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
Very much so
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
If I am going to be an hour late to dinner, there's no point going
<> says:
good point
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
Oh great, now some a**hole is being loud on his cell phone
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
Can it get worse?
<> says:
im listening to the radio right now
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
Thanks
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
This is just horrible
<> says:
right lane accident
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
Oh g-d, beautiful
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
I am officially FACKED
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
Argh
<> says:
pretty much
<> says:
get comfy
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
So annoying
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
I take time off to go do something and of course it gets fucked up
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
Why is everything for me difficult
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
Or has to get fucked up
<> says:
that sucks
<> says:
thats awful actually
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
Did they say how long before it's cleared up?
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
I know sometimes they do
<> says:
no idea
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
I really feel like crying
<> says:
lol...don't cry
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
it's not funny
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
I am tired, I had a crap day, I am late, and stuck on a bus with a
loud retard and pan flute music
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
Anyone would feel like crying in my situation really
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
Now we almost got in an accident
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
Fucking amazing
<> says:
at least you're on a bus, those things are indestructible
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
Yes but if some a**hole hits us, then I am definitely later
<> says:
true enough. settle in and try not to let it get you down, it's just
weather messing with ya
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
Fuck I am going to lose it
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
Honestly
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
What fucking next could possibly go wrong?
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
I am sure I will know momentarily
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
Yup - he turned that horrible crap up louder
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
Beautiful
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
Any updates?
<> says:
no...nothing
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
This is the worst
<> says:
you'll have to count on minimum an hour
<> says:
just to clear the accident and get things moving
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
It's been an hour already
<> says:
then keep your fingers crossed
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
Well I might as well just go home
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
If I can ever get there
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
Now the f-ing b*tch who cut us off just shut off her car and refuses to move
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
So the bus driver just rammed her car out of the way and took off
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
That moment was fucking GOLD
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
It was almost all worth it
<> says:
yahoo. you should blow the bus driver a kiss when you get off
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
I honestly would never have expected a bus driver to do that, let alone
one listening to music this horrible.
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
What a stupid b*tch she was though.
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
I have probably never seen anyone more ignorant in my entire life.
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
Now traffic behind us is all f-ed up because she's f-ing mental.
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
At least we're now moving.
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
I am going to go to the thing, super late, but what can you do?
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
I want to win an ipod MINIMUM though
<> says:
that would be nice
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
Yes
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
For all my troubles, I deserve it
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
Someone just got on the bus and this huge exacto fell out of their bag
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
No one picked it up
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
SKETCH
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
We're almost where we have to turn, so the end is visible
<> says:
hooray
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
Yes but something else could go wrong, it's been one of those days for sure
<> says:
we'll hope for the best
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
Yes, but now the loud retard has been staring at me for 15 minutes staright
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
Ugh
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
Yay, he shut off the music
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
no, he just changed it
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
Ugh
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
We're almost there
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
Slowly
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
Yes, now the bus is trying to half drive on the snowbank to get by people
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
Not working
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
But the effort is appreciated
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
Oh god, he did it
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
I love him
<> says:
a new hero is born
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
Now some other b*tch cut us off
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
I hope he rams her too
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
Now two ambulances just had to drive through this shit
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
It was most impressive
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
Wow this quite an adventure
<> says:
some nice action going on
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
They're basicaaly clearing a way for us
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
5 minutes and I am at the metro
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
Who knew the bus would be such an adventure
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
I almost want to propose marriage to the driver
~LUSHIOUS~ says:
At least break into applause!

The second part of this adventure was all done to the soundtrack of some crazy classical music. How apropos. And he did sort of ram the second b*tch who cut us off.

The bus driver rocked. Some woman on the bus who kept complaining to him it was hot, well when she got off, he told her, "Enjoy yourself, it's cold out there."
