So, I woke up at 4:30 this morning, and hopped the 6am train to Toronto for the Movember media launch, a week full of meetings with Toronto media for my real job, and an awards ceremony on Thursday.
Currently, my microwaved train eggs are sitting heavy in my stomach, and I’m experiencing the joys of Via’s WiFi on-board service which they’ve gone to such lengths to promote. So far, it has taken me five minute to load the survey page for said WiFi where I rated the quality of the service as “utter shit.”
If you’re planning on taking the train because you can spend the trip catching up on your emails and RSS feeds, I would seriously advise against it. I will be spending the morning getting my $8.95 back for this piece of crap. Yes. I am that petty.
I’m not sure if there’s a lesson in all of this, but if there were, I would imagine it would be something along the lines of “don’t promote the hell out of a product that sucks.” Consider it microwaved train food for thought.
