Is It That Obvious?


Every weekday I make a commute via aquabus to Granville Island. I get off the aquabus and walk directly to JJ Bean where I take out one ear bud and talk with the employees who already know I'm going to order a large cappuccino. I say "Thanks, have a good day, see you later!", put my ear buds back in and walk to school where I sit down on the cement benches, put my bag down, then my coffee, pull out my pack of dumos, reach into my pocket for my lighter, and enjoy my first cigarette of the day.

Class or work in the library follows. If I am hungry then I go into the cafe and order half a tuna melt and a bottle of water. I do my work.

Put my ear buds back in, go to JJ Bean and depending on the time either order another large cappuccino, or if it's later in the evening order a medium chai latte. I talk some more with the employees and see, "Thanks, have a good evening, see you later!". I then search throughout the market figuring out what I will cook for dinner, which is usually either a steak fillet mignon, a tuna steak, scallops, or pasta. I then exit through the back door, walk to the closest bench to the aquabus ramp where the butt tin is, put my bag down, put my coffee down, and have a smoke.

When I'm done my smoke I walk to the aquabus, talk with the employees there, go across, get off the aquabus, walk along the seawall, go to the corner store, say to the owner "Hello! How're you!?" and make small talk, get two bottles of Arizona Green Tea, a 1.5 liter of water, and when I need to, four packs of Dumarie cigarettes. I then go to my apartment, put away the items, turn off my iPod and turn on my speakers.

Every weekday.

Well today was different. Today, someone made me take out my ear phones so he could tell me, "I see you do the same thing every single day. You get off the aquabus, and later on come back, sit in the same spot everyday with your coffee and have a smoke. What's you're deal? Where do you work?" I was a little surprised since I never notice anyone around me, and never thought anyone would notice my routine either. However, it wasn't in a creepy stalker way, it was like "you're so obvious that you do the SAME thing everyday" type of deal.

I know that my weekday life isn't all that exciting, but I've never really realized how exact my routine is until now.

Is it THAT boring? How do people deal without a routine?????? Should I make my weekday more exciting?
