Buses are gay,...

Buses are gay...I would put more offensive words...not to offend you guys, but to insult the public transportation system in America.

So, Transportation first.... We have to get to work about half hour before we start, and the buses are an absolute joke! First bus we took....took an hour. First he stopped at Wallmart and did his shoppin...with the engine still running...... for 20 mins....UNBELIEVEABLE....then at the next stop, he stopped and ate his cake, and read the newspaper...for another twenty minutes......and then stopped at another stop to read more...and i swear he was doing it delibrately at this point cos we were all raging in the back of the bus!!!! Please note....everyday, it has taken about 7minutes for our personal bus to get us to work!!!!! So i missed my phone call from home :-(.

Thought id give buses another chance.... our bus this mornin didnt arrive, so when another bus came 20mins later (and we were worried we would be late for work) we asked the bus driver if he stopped at the back end of universal for us employees....he said yes so we all got on. He got to the front enterance of universal and told us all to get off, cos apparently he changed his mind...or just blatently lied to us. So we tried to walk through the park but we weren't allowed...however if we walked around the outskirts we were gonna be late for work (its serious if ur late!!!!) so we managed to find some very kind security guards who escorted us through the park. God bless security guards. We managed to get to our locations on time thankfully.

So...After work we went on a few rides...ended up at the front of the park, and so got on a bus there.....ive never been so upset/angry/exhausted. i cried for the last neck of the journey. BTW, we havn't had a day off yet!!!! This bus journey...tht should take 10 mins....took 2 hours and 20 minutes. no word of a lie. This bus took us miles in the wrong direction, we ended up on the same street 4 times....and then the busdriver kicked us off the bus cos we got to the end of the line....and then we had to try and find another bus (cos a taxi would have cost a bomb we were so far out!!!!) and got the same bus tht went backwards on ourselves. we ended up back at universal. after an hour and a half. which....inevitably....again....i missed my phonecall from home :-(

I have to get a bus tomorrow....i will be at the bus stop at 6.15am. just to make sure i get there on time. and if tht is a joke....i am selling my $50 bus pass for the month, and NEVER EVER EVER gettin an bus here EVER again.
BTW...tht 2 hour route, we got the right bus...just in the wrong direction. but this bus stops at the same side of the stop...so i bet loadsa ppl get it goin in the wrong direction!!!!! and you would think we would get more info on this awful horrible bus service. oh...and when u see bus times....there within a twenty minute time slot. so u gotta arrive ten mins before its due to arrive....but it might not arrive till ten mins after. its a joke. i miss english buses.

Also taxi's have no idea were we live and are TOTALLY unreliable, and drivers are crazy erratic, and everytime ive been in a bus, the bus driver has parped at someone, cos we nearly crash. oh and they have this weird thing were cars can turn right at a red light. even when pedestrians are crossing over. SOOOOOO SCARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So...my next rant is about international communication. ok so there's not much i can do about the time change......but apparently no phone will allow me to phone any english mobile or landline, so i cannot get hold of my family and friends. i have no laptop for skype yet...cos i aint had a day off to go and find a laptop for cheap, and my cell phone has decided it doesn't like me either. Im never in my apartment at a decent english time. Mam, if you're reading this....this is why you havn't spoke to me yet, im not ignoring you, im very upset that i still havn't been able to speak to you. I CANT EVEN TEXT!!!!! stupid piece of poo.


There....there is my rant. i feel a little better. not lookin forward to the bus service tomorrow.




oh yea...also....work....i might aswell be in a sauna the entire time....its soooooooooo hot and humid, i had to dry my body with my work shirt today before putting my own clothes on (the clothes get washed at work every day!) i sweated in places i didnt think exsisted...and i was in the shade all day....so when i start working properly....outside.....in the sunshine.....i don't even know what i'll be like. my feet r killing too. and i have a cold. runny nose/sneezing in hot weather is almost unbearable!!!!


there. rant over.



But i still love beign here, nearly everybody is soooooo soooooo nice, and understanding, and when im not at work in uniform, the weather is fab for chillin and sunbathing and swimming.
Its not all bad...i just needed to let off steam. I miss you english people. with reasonable public service.
