TRI-MET LIES AND SUCKS!!!!!
The news this morning said buses would be running about 25 minutes behind schedule(they were quoting Tri-met sources)....so I decided, what the heck, I ll go into work this morning and just take the bus to spare my car the abuse. I stood at that bus stop(which is a good 12 blocks from my house) for exactly 2 HOURS from 9:20 AM till 11:20 AM(line 77, in case anyone cares) . This route is supposed to be served every 15 minutes. 15 plus 25 adds up to 40...not 120!
I have never been so cold in my life. I was wearing more layers then I do when I go skiiing, but that east wind really took its toll---Claires pictures of ice on windows--imagine that on a columbia sportswear jacket ---that was me
.........7 buses went the other way over that 2 hour period before I finally caught one coming my way
To make matters worse, I coulda sworn those lamebrained weather forcasters said it would warm up by 3 or so....so I had planned on a less then horrific trip home from work(which btw was a total waste of time as my total gross sales at the end of the day was a mere $56.00) but instead find that the ice melted just long enough to re-freeze and become UBER-SLICK......why oh why did I ever sell my ice skates???.........
Next time I am staying home no matter what
