Stupid F*ckin’ Friggin’ Public Transportation!

I am so going to buy me a new car. Another month travelling like this and I’ll have wracked nerves. It took me 90 minutes to get from Zoetermeer to Rijswijk. A trip I normally take by car…and which costs me 10 minutes. Of course the first train left a second before I made it on the platform, and the second obliged me to wait for 17 minutes. Then, I had to make a transit on The Hague Central, which cost me another wait of approximately 15 minutes. And then I had to wait in the freaking cold for the tram.

Yeah yeah, I know, dozens of people do it each day. But can you blame me for cursing? Normally I am in a nice warm car which takes me from door to door, with my favorite music on etc etc etc. Now I have to hop on different means of transportation, still have to walk half a mile to get where I want to go…and half of the trip I spend waiting for the transportation to show up in the first place.

Grrrr. I need to get me a car and fast.

    hee trouwens, maakt niet uit dat je de 19e niet kan hoor. als je al zo’n drukke maand hebt kan je inderdaad beter het zo rustig mogelijk houden.
    kom je gewoon een ander keertje langs. mijn kamer is toch nog niet helemaal af. :)

    en ik maak het wel gezellig voor mezelf hoor. ondanks het leren enzo. alleen, mijn stereo is compleet op hol geslagen dus dat is even wat minder..

    Dutch seems very odd… lol

    And YUCK, I hate public transportation… I had that option when going to school… sort of… but I have a sneaking suspicion it would take me an hour and a half to get to school (instead of the 35 minutes it now takes). *shakes head* AND they charge you a lot for it… what sense does that make??

    Nala:

    *grin*
    ehm…I think the closest would come:
    *Raiswaik* – with that *ai* sound pronounced as the *ie* in *lie*

    But it is a flatter sound, pronounced more in the middle of the mouth instead of at the back.
    Ah Dutch is difficult to explain heh

    Man, the are railway services on time for a change, and then that is bad aswell?? :)

    I know the feeling by the way… When I go to college, I have to sit in trains and busses for a whole hour, and for just 50 minutes at school, it looks a bit ridiculous.
