My journey to work today

[Sysman]

Woke up just before 6 to the rattle of someone pulling a suitcase with wheels along the cobbled street outside.

Dozed off to be woken again by the sound of suitcase on wheels on cobbles. Ah, it's Friday then; folks are taking their bags so that they can escape for the weekend straight from work.

Pot of tea and do a bit of web sorting-out. I doubt if many will be at work today, so a bit of my own stuff first.

Got up at the unearthly hour of 7:15 since it was time to drop missus off to her work. Having brekkie and tea and waiting for the 'dump' sensations to arrive.

Oh heck - my eating and drinking problems look like they are getting worse again.

I got up at 7, had a shower then a cup of coffee and a bowl of cornflakes, went to the station, bought a cappuccino, a croissant and a newspaper and sat down for a dump in the train, bowel actions assisted by the bumping of the carriage.

I've moved to a house that is on a hill above a railway line. The previous residents said that the noise didn't bother them.

They lied.

The trains start at 5:30 in the morning. The first one doesn't wake me. The third one does.

Erm, do you not feel a bit dumb now? Isn't this rather like believing the agent when he says 'I'm barely covering my costs at that rate, but it's so important that YOU get this job!'

[Gonzo]

Erm, do you not feel a bit dumb now?

Well, yes.

But I did grow up near to a railway line and I know that you don't hear them any more once you are used to the noise.

In all other respects I am living in the best place in the region so I am going to live with it.

I lived in a flat with a railway line at the end of the garden, many years ago. After a week or so you get used to it. You'll find it's only the unscheduled services or 'specials' that'll disturb you.

Goods trains in the middle of the night aren't too good either.

Bastard bin men woke me up before 6:30 am this morning. I assume it was because they were ahead of their schedule the just waited there for ages with the engine running pumping out fumes.

I was having some strange dream about duty free, but I was some how up to mischief. I have no idea what I was doing down on an underground railway platform either.

Got up, had a pee and went back to bed. I didn't get up until 7:55.

Bloomberg TV on, start the coffee, had a dump. It's nice to be regular.
