6AM routine

my work these days consists of consistant weekday 6am shifts. you notice details and patterns of the first bus, first metro crowd.

at the bus stop, I get to watch the 380 going to Côte-Vertu pass by then get on the 171 going to Henri-Bourassa at 5:11. then I get to stand 10 minutes waiting for the metro which always arrives semi-full from Laval. It’s nice to know that my bus can be consistantly late with no consequence on me catching the metro.

Waiting for the bus with an old man, young man coupling and a senior man. Waiting for the metro with a young painter kid. A crowd getting off at Crémazie metro, and a morbidly obese woman getting in at Jarry. Getting off at Berri to catch the transfer. Old man in a suit and a toupet who gets the newspaper from his friend at PDA metro and gets off at Peel. Black man that gets on a PDA and hits on this woman for one stop cause she gets off at McGill. Watching bums sleep at McGill. Hazingly getting off at Peel to get to work. Time of arrival: 5:55.

When I go the other way, which I’ve always preferred, I have to wait at the turnstiles for the metro to open, and I always arrive a few minutes after 6. Just goes to show that the bus arrives early but I always arrive later.

On a different note, I got an amaZing drink from Jugo Juice and am outraged at the price. Almost 7 bucks for a drink with only matcha powder, soy milk and yogurt. I paid for it once but I’ll learn how to make it at Starbucks for free… and then, I’ll make it at home! Fucking outrageous price. An Iced Green Tea Latte doesn’t even cost that much.

Also, I got myself this awesommme costume this year. This’ll be the first time I go all out on dressing up and I’m psyched.
