    So I need to allow more time than just getting a taxi like I used to do.

        I'm supposed to be checking whether or not a bug I fixed in one place impacts other parts of The Product (even though it's a logical impossibility that it could).

        In doing so, I've found a bug which manifests itself on my dev server, but not on the QA or Production servers, despite the code being identical in all of those places

        I'm trying to ignore it, but it's making my original task impossible to complete.

        If I can just keep ignoring it till 1:00 then I can head for the motorway; Monday and Tuesday next week I'll be at a conference, and the rest of the week working from home

        So hopefully it will have gone away by the time I'm back in the office

          Yes - new location, but still need to fly down. So rather than getting a taxi to Slough, I now need to get a train and underground to the office.

              I get it every day, it’s nose to armpit all the way- and nerve racking to boot!

                I was stood next to a bag on the tube yesterday morning, which I just assumed belonged to the person sat down in the first seat. It wasn't next to them, though, it was closer to the doors.

                I was thinking - oh well, at least it will be quick.

                  There was a bomb scare on the mainline train I was on over the summer.

                  They took us all off the train, and told us to stand on another platform.

                  So instead of being caught in a blast and going quickly, I'd have just got all the shrapnel from the train and windows right in the face instead.

                    You should do something that scares you every day - I guess some people find it easier than others!!!

                      I walk to work, thank God.... so I don't have to travel with the great unwashed of Manchester on those peasant wagons, laughably known as public transport....
