It's Friday after work.
I take a bus to the airport with the suitcase I brought to the office. It's
a long trip ahead, 15 hours from office to home. Fly from Vancouver to
Phoenix with a stop in Las Vegas. Arrive to Phoenix at 2am. Go to the TBC
bus station. TBC leaves at 4am and Greyhound at 6am so it's definitively
better to sleep in the bus that to try to stay awake at the bus station. And
if you have seen Arizona's bus stations you'll know what I mean, even though
they're not as bad as Seattle's. Well, actually they got a new one in Tucson
(just about time!), but still.
The credit card machine at TBC is broken so they only accept cash. I have
Canadian dollars and Mexican pesos. So I carry my bag around, go to a gas
station and a 24hour Jack In the Box. They can't give me cash back.
Actually, the Jack in the Box clerk just said he can't serve me because I
don't have a car. I walked thru with my wheeled suitcase
So I think I'm fucked! Now I'll have to walk 20 blocks to the Greyhound and
wait til 6am! So I ask the TBC bus driver if he can give me a ride to
Hermosillo but once we reach a stop I'll look for a cash machine and pay
him. So he says "sure let's go!". The guy stops at some random Circle K,
wakes me up and says, "all right man you can get cash here". So I withdraw
USD$40 (the bus ticket from Phoenix to Hermosillo is USD$36) I give them to
him and he says, "so you get off in Nogales". I'm like "(What the fuck?) No!
I'm going to Hermosillo!"
Busdriver: Oh I thought you were going to Nogales. It's $20 to go there.
Sleepy, hungry, angry Mayo: But I gave you $40 !!
Motherfucker: Yes, but you have to pay $20 to me
Me: No way man. You didn't say that. If that was the case I'd have taken the
Greyhound
.. blah blah blah So I'm speaking loud and didn't notice all the passengers
that start paying attention. This makes the busdriver nervous and gives me
$30 back and says, so you will go to the Tucson office and pay for a ticket
from Tucson to Hermosillo. I'll charge you $10 from Phoenix to Tucson. And
that's what we did.
I arrived to Hermosillo at the TBC bus station. My mom picks me up and then
we go to pick up my sister who was having her short-sightedness surgery. So
I take my mom's car and she takes my sister's car, who can't drive and
doesn't like me to drive her car. I'm the first one to arrive home with my 5
year old nephew. I still have the Hermosillo house back door key with me, so
we go through there and as we enter the kitchen we see a piece of shit in
the middle of the room! The door's open so I think "fuck! An animal just
came in" but while I see the open cabinets in the kitchen and match it with
the humane characteristics of the feces I think "oh no! it's a sick baby.
Why can't they take care of him?". And as I reflect and think about how a
kid could have come into our house and dump such a gigantic piece of shit,
my mom and my sister arrive, and as they enter they scream "What?! What
happened?! Did the thieves brake in again!? Oh no, goddamn it!!! Shit Fuck!!
Motherfuckers!"
