June 4, 2000 — A fruitful day's work

Today I went to work, accomplished nothing, then came home, and accomplished nothing.

On the way to work, I was taking the OC Transpo bus again, as I don't dare drive on the 417 without a death wish, and it seems that the bus-riding population on a Sunday morning is even worse than that of the rest of the week. I won't be soon forgetting that odour.

This one very large and very obviously drunk individual and a person he referred to as "my woman" made a lot of noise during the trip and a lot of the other people on the bus were laughing at them behind their backs. It was quite bizarre though, since I was at least slightly envious of them, as they were oblivious to it all and seemed happy enough with the way they were living, which is more than I can say for myself.

I got downtown and walked to work, and as it turns out, all the camera stores were closed so I couldn't even look for a new camera. I was a little PO'd. I did manage to find, however, the store that has darkroom rentals where Nathan abuses the use of an honour-system policy on a regular basis, and it turns out it's about 3 minutes away from my work. They have one-day courses to learn how to use the equipment that I might take during the summer, should I get my camera.

My right hand is hurting a lot from typing so I don't think I can keep this up much longer tonight. I should have tried stretching before I started.

Before I went home after work today, I went into a comic book store for the first time in awhile. I was curious to see whether or not Princess Mononoke had arrived on video yet ("This month," the guy claims. I bet every movie arrives "This month."), but they had the complete Sandman series on hardcover. They're very expensive, but I figure I can afford to buy one a week during the summer while I'm working and by the end I'll have the whole set. I can't spend much money this summer though; stupid university. Fuck higher learning.

And on that note, with my hand still throbbing, I can assure you that nothing else worth noting happened to me today and it's time to get some fresh air before I implode. (Let's be honest though, nothing of note really happened to me all day, so what's the point?)
