Or more like “Stupid Is As Stupid Does pt.2″. On Tuesday morning, I woke up on time, packed up my bag and took the bus to Helsinki to catch up my bus to Tampere. See for yourselves:
The weather is lovely, I’m in pretty dress and generally in a very good mood. Well, I arrive at Kamppi, go grab a bite to eat and then make my way to the bus terminal, which is located below the Kamppi Shopping Centre. I’m there, the bus is about to leave and I’m frantically searching for the correct bus bay. I find it but there’s no bus to be seen! And it was supposed to leave that very minute! I’m getting all @#% and I call my cousin if she could get the bus company’s number so I can call them and ask what’s going on. I dial the number and soon as they answer, I’m all huffy and indignant and some other words as I demand an explanation for the missing bus. I’m a customer! I paid for things! I printed the ticket and everything! The man listens for a while, asks more details such as where I am, where I am going etc.etc. This was quickly followed by an awkward silence. Because, whilst I was here:
I was actually supposed to be here:
How embarrassing. Once again.
The man from Onnibus was very nice and allowed me to travel using the same ticket by the later bus. Which was to leave 6 hours later. Instead of day in Tampere, Tuesday turned into a Day When I Was Forced To Spend 6 Hours in Helsinki While Waiting My Bus To Leave.
There’s a lesson to be learned here somewhere.

My sister just called asking about my Christmas plans. She wanted to know if I was going up north. When I said I won’t be going because I thought I’d have my knee operation so I didn’t book any tickets, she then proceeded to suggest that we could have a Singleton Christmas in Helsinki.
