Wierd.
I can’t figure out if it’s just me, or if the STM (Montreal’s public transport system) have been feeding the monkeys employees some happy-juice lately.
Every day for the last 7 days, I have been greeted on the bus or at the metro gate by a smiling person, who has actually looked me in the eye and said “Bonjour!”
What the hell?
I have long been an un-admirer of the STM’s attitude towards its patrons – especially to those tourists who visit the fair province of Quebec with no french language skills…
I have long been annoyed by their over-paid, surly, unionized workers who appeared to constantly want more at the expense of the city’s residents and travellers, whilst never investing in some of the more humanitarian service elements to, well, make the public transport experience a little more pleasant.
And yet… something appears to have changed… in just seven days…
I wonder if they know… that we know… that they know…
I use the STM because I have to, and because it’s a greener alternative to the car, and for the past seven days, it’s been, well, OK. Less annoying. A more ‘human’ experience.
It’s quite disconcerting…
Is it just me?
Oh.
…and, for the record, I think I might just BURST if I don’t see ‘LOST’ tonight… It’s been a long year without Kate…
..alas I have my first mid-term exam tonight… THIS is where PVR’s (TVO) come in handy.
