So that's what customer service smells like.

This morning on the SkyTrain I couldn't help overhearing a woman complaining about her job. In fact people on the next car probably couldn't help overhearing her. She was clearly speaking for the benefit of her captive audience of trapped commuters. She had the suburban Vancouver area accent - a blend of an American accent picked up from learning English from the television and slow-speaking rural stoner. Just from the sound of her voice you could tell she was fifty pounds overweight and fifteen years out of style.


*kick*

Now I get to kick myself. Last week was the Port Moody Arts Festival and I knew that there were going to be art cars at the arts centre yesterday. I had thought about coming out with my camera but figured they would only be the few local art cars and it wouldn't be worth dragging my hung-over ass out on Sunday transit.
