So since moving on Saturday I have met a few new people, all of which have been crazy!
Saturday I stayed inside for fear of getting lost, but Sunday came and I was so bored I pushed myself to go on an adventure. So I walk to my bus stop, the 17 is the one I take, and catch the bus, getting off 6 blocks away from my work. I go to Eaton's center and do a little shopping, picked up a new skirt/shirt and a new shirt, and then some shadows and studio fix from mac. All in all I spent about an hour shopping which was better than spending that extra hour at home bored by myself so I decide to head down back to my stop and head home. While waiting for the bus this elderly lady comes and sits with me and instantly starts complaining and collection agencies wanting money from her..then I find out she is 73 years old and her name is Vivian. The bus comes and low and behold after having my ear talked off for about a half an hour she gets on the same bus as me and talks my ear for another half an hour!! She tells me how she came over from England, how she used to be paid 60 cents an hour, how she is/was in the sewing business, and how she fell through a trap door 10 days before the baby she was carrying was due and she had to half the top half of her skull removed to relieve pressure and now she wears a wig! Then she got off and told me to have a nice life haha.
My bus driver was super nice, she gave me a huge map of all the bus routes in Calgary and told me which bus to take if I wanted to go to 17th Ave(which I am doing this Sunday).
Then this morning while I am waiting for the bus to head to work, this lady walks past me, turns around, pulls off her glasses and says "YOU HAVE JEWELLERY IN YOUR FACE!"..like it was something I didn't know. Then she tells me she is a hairdresser and she used to peirce peoples ears and nostrils with a gun, woopee!! Anyways, I make it to work a-ok and everybody is super stoked I am there! I had 3 guests today and made some tips and am just so happy to be back at work.
We finished at 7:30 and I headed to my stop to catch the bus, which passed me on my way there. So I sit down and put on my sunglasses cause im being blinded, and think I won't have to sit there for so long...an HOUR later the bus shows up, but not until after I have sat there and been talked to by this 40 year old man named Patrick, who spotted me from across the street. He saw me, got up from where he was sitting walked across the middle of the street, and sat down right beside me. he asks me my name, starts telling me about his life, shows me pictures of his daughters, almost grabs my boob multiple times while touching my arm, informs me he was mr.world of 1994 for body building and then when the bus shows up asks for my number so he can call me!! I lied and said I couldn't remember my number and so he gave me his and I pretended to enter it. I finished work at 7:30 and didn't get home till 9:30, longest wait and bus ride EVER!
Im a little scared of who I am going to meet tomorrow, bah!
ps, my roommate, april, is home and she is soo nice!!
