subway hell...

Man, I just woke up from a nap earlier tonight. The nap was well worth it especially after what I had gone through. This morning, as I was getting to work, the TTC subway station between Bloor and Union was not in service due to an injury along the subway line. I can only guess that someone has tried to jump off the railway tracks again. That has caused a great delay for me to get to work. Luckily, I had decided to transfer to the westbound train to St. George station and head back southbound from there. I bumped into a drinking buddy of mine and I guided him to a shortcut for him to get to work. Then I got a call from him later in the afternoon. I had been told that the subways were not working from Bloor to Eglinton. So I had to either take a shuttle bus to Eglinton Station or transfer eastbound to Pape station and take the bus to Don Mills station. I chose the latter. And guess how long that ride took me? Normally, it would take less than 15 minutes to travel between Bloor and Eglinton station. However, it took a duration of two hours for the whole ride. Thankfully, the subway ride that came afterwards went by pretty quickly. The Cummer bus came quickly as well and I was able to grab a good seat.

Just checked TTC official website and they say there is no disruption on the subway line. So I guess it should be good by now.

Stuff like that happens on the Amtrak/freight line here (we don't have a subway, and bus service has been changed/reduced) ...

ok...now a more proper intro...
I'm born and raised in Toronto, Canada. I can read Chinese and speak English like a typical CBC which brings me to my advantage in getting my head start into this whole translation business. Yes. I'm a freelance translator and have worked for companies like Joy Sales and Diskotek Media. I went to Stephen Leacock Collegiate Institute and had the same teachers that Hollywood actor Mike Myers got his lessons from. (ok...not really but Mike Myers' teacher Howard Gross sometimes walks in and gives me pointers from time to time. My TV Production teacher was former CITY TV employee and Leacock alumni, Mr. Luke Avison.)

and when i'm in the mood, i drink alot.
i can scratch my balls when i damn well please.
have a nice day!
