Riding the rails (or bus, whatever)

I take public transportation to and from work. Due to my work schedule and construction on the el, I tend to take the bus to work, and the el home.

Specifically on the bus, when I get on there are normally a handful of people on it when I get on. By the time it gets downtown, the aisle is full of people standing. Thus, I am always seated. When I get on, I never sit next to anyone, especially never next to a cute girl. I just hate the idea that anyone would think of me as "that guy". Where this gets odd is the fact that I completely judge myself by whether or not the attractive girls boarding the bus after me sit next to me. Last week, I got a string of fat men, and felt self conscience about it.

Of course, none of this matters because I spend my entire bus ride with my nose in my book.

Credit Card

Yesterday, I decided to pick out a gift for a friend's wedding that I was unable to attend.

After selecting a lovely deep frier, I tried to check out. My card was denied. I called the credit card company and they said there was abnormal charges and they had to check with me. The charges:

- a monthly charge to the CTA for my bus pass
- the grocery store
- a couple internet orders (shipped to my place)
- gas
- a restaurant

Really? That is enough to question the validity of my charges? Also they never called me. It would have been pretty embarrassing to have this happen out in public. I need a new credit card.

Also, the girl from the airplane is in town this weekend. But due to the short notice, I was unable to meet up with her. She is kind of strange, I get about one text message a week from her now, after not hearing from her for about a couple months.

It has been a couple months

I am lazy.

Today, at work, I went into the bathroom. I walked up to the urinal, unzipped my pants and went to take out "Destroyer" (just trying out new names, we'll see what sticks). However, all I felt was boxer. I figured I must have rotated my shorts while busy at work, so I searched left. Nothing. I searched right. Nothing. Finally, I had to pee, so I stepped into a stall and undid my pants and just dropped the boxers.

Yeah, I put my underwear on backwards today.
