What a crap weekend I had. Fever, chills and a cough. I'm sure standing in a cold wind for three hours on Saturday during the Bomanville Santa Claus parade didn't help my situation. But the kid loved it.
Here I was, all snuggled in bed, with my 40 pillows and two cats, and the mistake of keeping my BB next to me after I made the rounds of texting and calling those who needed to know that I would be keeping my germs to myself today, when the phone lit up like a Christmas tree.
The 6:27 am milk run from Oshawa became express from Pickering which I'm sure, delighted the folks on that run and the 6:47 am Oshawa, which is the express from Pickering, became the milk run, annoying the hell out of, I'd say, 15 of you based on the texts, BBMs and tweets. I love it. You come and bitch to me. Imma take it. At this point, I turned up the dial on my electric blanket.
My GO patriot, Doug, sent me a text that read, "With trains late this morning a lady is handing out cards asking us to complete a survey. I think, "Are they that dumb?". Then everyone I have been standing with for 45 minutes all said yes and took a card. I am sure the responses will be negative -- just my gut feel. What a crazy morning starting at 645 am."
That's one way to ensure participation.
But don't be jealous of me. I'm still going to try to get some work done from home. Just be glad I'm not on the train spreading the sick around. You don't want this.

What got me was that they were insistant that the train was *only* 20 mins late. Why do they stick to the lie? Even being express I was still 30 mins later getting into work.
Get better soon though. Being sick sucks.
Feel better soon, CJ.
I'm sooo glad I'm on vacation on Mondays between now and Christmas. :o)
What pissed me off was at ajax I get to the platform and there is an announcement simply saying that a train has left whitby. This is about five mins after the 715 left on time. So I get oin the next train. No announcement at all and its an all stops!! Wtf. No one says anything. At least tell us wtf is going on!!
Gong show is right!
@DF, I took the "6.41" and we didn't get an announcement about the delayed train until AFTER the 7.0something was supposed to arrive. Then after that announcement, we received another one stating that 7.0something was holding at Whitby and that the "6.41" would now be express after Pickering. Personally, I didn't care. I just wanted on a train so that I could thaw out. Having been on that platform since 6.30am.
