With the added construction on that corner, which besides waking up to a frozen hell each morning, is the only constant in my life. God forbid I should need to go to TD Bank, or that galoshes should ever be deemed "office appropriate" Which brings me to another point, winter in this city is just not compatible with my workplace attire. They do not make thermal dress pants. Everyone goes on and on about how Canada is so safe and we don't have any natural disasters. Well I say, ever since the greenhouse effect made its appearance, winter in this city IS a natural disaster. It's the most prolonged unbearable disaster known to man, winter in the megacity.

It’s the most prolonged unbearable disaster known to man, winter in the megacity.

Especially during snowfalls like this. I dug mine out today, some a-hole came by with a plow and and now I'm sitting at home. And yet a car in Toronto is EVEN WORSE.

It absolutely PALES in comparison to the unholy mess that was my Tuesday. Two words; Shuttle Bus. Two more words; King Street. Add to that mind blowing scene, drivers who didn't know the "alternate route" and commuters who didn't know anything had happened at Brant & King. I hate the TTC, but hate the fact that I NEED to use it even more. I'm buying a car. A huge, gas guzzling, eco-harmful SUV that will rival 50 Cent's.

That sounds like a fate worse then the apocalypse. If it hits 3 posts and the world ends, doesn’t that mean we won’t get to read the last post? That sounds like a fate worse then the apocalypse.
