I love OC Transpo, I love OC Transpo, I love… ah who am I kidding?
I got here 10 minutes ago, give or take. I’m scheduled to start 20 minutes ago. James is not overly thrilled this morning. If this is a sign of how the rest of today’s gonna turn out, I’m gonna just duck out all kinds of early and do all kinds … Read the rest
