I’m heading into town. First 4.5 km to the train, then 3 km by train. Of course I get caught by the conductor I don’t get along with. Last time, when I was riding just one stop and told her I’d get off, she started yelling at me to hand over my ID card and said the matter would be dealt with, so this time I just bought the ticket right away.
Unfortunately, those swines at WaitLong Railways raised the price of those 3 km by 1 CZK to 12 CZK. In town I go straight to two doctors: one is on vacation, the other is at a training course. As I’m leaving the clinic, I also notice that even a third office isn’t open today. OK, so I stop by the bookstore for a present for my mom. I could have ordered it online and picked it up in the store, but I didn’t feel like entering my whole address, name and so on.
On top of that, you couldn’t register there, so next time I’d have to enter the whole address, phone, email, first name, last name and so on all over again. I walk into the bookstore, and there are two young blondes who look at me like I’m a Martian. I ask if they have the book The Shack, which costs 215 CZK. One of them quickly finds it for me but says that without an order it costs 239 CZK, and that to get it for 215 CZK I’d have to order it online and pick it up in person.
Okay, so I set off back home. This time I walked the whole way, all 7.5 km of it. Unfortunately, the wind was blowing so hard that I nearly went deaf, even though I was wearing home listening headphones that I pressed against my ears as hard as I could. It was such a gale-force hurricane of a wind that at times even that didn’t help. #diary #sucks
