Gentle Readers:
Brief tale from Wednesday: I was traveling to Houston by Greyhound and have the wrong date for my return trip on the ticket.
The first time I asked about changing it, an employee told me it was not a problem bc I have a round trip ticket. The second time I asked, another employee said I would have to pay $15 to change the date. When I told her that, in my opinion, that was silly and not what the employee had told me the day before, she said of the first Greyhound clerk, "People Lie." Then when I said something back, the portly girl and clerk said, "IT HAPPENS. PEOPLE LIE." I love receiving a side of life lessons and jerkiness along with my ticket!
Go and buy (if you can) The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, by Junot Diaz.
I am reading this, along with my other books.
