Of a White Christmas??

Listening to: 103.5QMFM advertisements on air...
Thinking about: what to buy for people for Christmas...

I want a White Christmas, but helloo....Christmas isn't here yet! So why are we having snow right now? It's creating havoc, and it's super cold out. Snow does crazy things to people. Traffic was horrible this morning. To think that Vancouver drivers don't know how to drive in the snow. To top things off, certain bus drivers are crazy. Last night's snow caused this morning to be super crazy in Vancouver. Here's my ordeal:
7:45am: Walked to the corner of my street. About to cross the street when a bus pulls up and splashes me with gross mud water. Soaked.
7:46am: Waiting for bus to arrive. Supposed to come at 7:50am
8:00am: One bus drives by, without stopping. Bus is full. No worrying yet. As long as an express bus comes in the next 5 minutes, I'll still make it for my bus transfer and work on time.
8:10am: Crap, still no bus. 20 people waiting at my bus stop.
8:15am: Express bus pulls up, lets lady off, tells the rest of us we can't come on. Key here is, THE BUS IS NOT FULL! The bus driver goes on telling us he is an express bus and can't pick up. Hello??? Every morning I get on that Express bus! Steamed...
8:17am: Get on another bus...start of a journey...
9:00am: Still not at the intersection that I have to stop at...5KM away
9:15am: Still not there...less than 5KM away
9:30am: Finally at my stop...normally the trip from my house to Granville takes 30-45 min, today it took close to 1 1/2 hrs!
9:45am: Catch bus into Richmond...
10:20am: Get to the office...wet, cold, and pissed off...

And how was your day? And to think I want snow...well my reasoning is, I want snow when I don't have to commute in it and traffic isn't insane. I want snow on the mountains for skiing/snowboarding. I want snow on Christmas, a light sprinkle so we can have that picturesque scenary. Not this yucky slushy weather. And there's prediction of more snow this weekend! Good thing ultimate ended...
