What a shitty day
August 09, 1999
This is not just one of those updates where I bitch and then put something on the Life Sucks page. No. Today was just one of those shitty shitty days. It began actually a couple days ago when UBC emailed me telling me I had been picked in the parking lottery thing. No I don’t win anything, it just means I get to buy a parking pass first. It also said they’re accepting a limited number of purchases over the internet (500 or 1000). Being the lazy ass I am, I thought to myself, I’ll do it later. So last night as I clicked around on their shitty webpage, I find that the online passes have been sold out – I would have to line up in person to buy one. Fuck. The parking office opens at 8:30am but as a UBC tradition, people start lining up at 5:00am. No kdding. So, I stayed up all fucking night watching night TV (M.A.S.H reruns, Tai-Bo ads, etc) and playing Darkstone. At 5am, I get ready to go and by 5:30am I’m out the door. On Knight St, heading to King Edward, I get lasered going at 84k’s. My radar detector did go off but I being a fucking idiot just thought it was probably an automatic door or something. I thought, "Even cops don’t wake up this early." Fuck was I wrong. So there’s another $115 down the drain AND another 3 fucking points which means I’ll have another $300 down soon. After that, I continued on my trek and got my stupid parking pass. Luckily, you didn’t have to actually stand there waiting… they gave you a number and called you up. So I went to the SUB and read and had a shitty bland coffee and a moderately good cinnamon bun. Come home. Write this. Shitty day.
