Those days are so over…
While I’d like to sit idly by and pretend the current gas prices aren’t affecting my budget, I can no longer ignore this pressing financial issue. It’s a Saturday, and we’re headed to Pacific Mall for some ‘particulars’ but after our trip – the $20 we had put in gas before we left had run right out. So we stopped at Petro Canada and hubby decided he was going to take a glance away from the pump and toward the beautiful blue sky. BIG MISTAKE – can’t do THAT any more. The poor man rushed to the van in panic searching frantically for the extra money that he had racked up in the 20 seconds he had spent staring into outer-space. Alls well that ends well – this time around, we left with our driver’s licenses and dignity intact – but that was pretty close.
What have we come to? 1.38/litre has changed my life from predictably responsible to a total gamble; “Will I go to work today?” I dunno – let’s check the gas prices. “Should I go to school? If I get there I might not be able to get home seeing as the $10 I have in the bank will have to pay for parking”. These are changing times my friends. A hardworking man can’t even daydream at the pump anymore. This Christmas I might be fighting the naughty kids for their piece of coal unless Father Christmas is being appointed to the Enbridge Board of Directors and is bringing Gas cards for everyone.
Bah Hambug.
