Microsoft’s Last Developer Standing contest is in full swing and they screwed me and screwed me up. Module 2 closed Sunday, May 29th at 11:59pm. I was annoyed at this both because I missed it by an hour and because it got the idea that Monday was the last day of the month. Today (Tuesday) which is still May I got flack from two (2!) bus drivers that my bus pass is invalid. I have been thinking for the past two days that today is June (and that I have to bring my watch’s date forward one day) so I left my May bus pass at home and got a ride today. I picked up the June bus pass and merrily got on a bus. The guy told me that it’s not valid yet. He let me get on anyway. Unfortunately I was on the wrong bus. Thanks to my social phobia I was trying to avoid making small with a guy so I got on the 6 thinking I’d got to the University and transfer. Once on the bus I was panicking because I not only had to get on another bus with a not-yet-valid pass, but the stupid LTC cuts the hours for the bus that takes me home waaaay back for the summer. I got to the University and sat there for 45 minutes, praying that when\/if the bus does eventually show up, the driver will get out (to get a drink, chat with another driver, whatever), or that they’ll ignore it and let me on, or at the very least that there will be so many people getting on that he won’t notice. No such luck, not only did he notice, I think he even said sorry, or too bad or something like that. Either way there was another guy behind me asking him where he’s going so I kind of just shuffled on anyway and he didn’t say anymore. The ride was most uncomfortable but I eventually made it.
