Tuesday, November 11, 2008 What are you getting at?
Today I drove to work in my car, like the fat cat that I am. I've been biking most days since about August, and that's fine, but it is COLD now. It's not even that cold, but I needed to add air to my bike tires, and I also needed to lie in bed for a crucial five extra minutes. I got this new pillow last week, and I just can't seem to tear myself away from it.
Driving to work usually makes me equally more more late than biking does, because even on days when I bike timidly and pretend I'm a tiny, slow car instead of weaving through gaps between cars in traffic, it's faster to lock up my bike and shake out my helmet hair than it is to find a space and park.
I used to wonder who the hell was taking all the spaces around my workplace, since so many people in the surrounding office builidings had reportedly been laid off. Then I realized that all those people had probably been parking in the garage, and that everyone is too impoverished for the garage now.
I can't complain too much, but it's crazy how stuff like travel expenses that seemed reasonable a month or so ago when I bought the tickets now strike me as terrifying and insane. Perhaps I have growed up. posted by Frenz | 11/11/2008 12:32:00 PM
