Fairly ordinary as things go.<br />Got up early, went to work, worked, then finished, now off home.<br /><br />Most people who know me will attest to the fact that I <em>hate </em>getting up early and I <em>hate</em> having to travel to work.<br /><br />You see, I am a commuter. I travel alongside the approximately million other people desperately keen to get into the city, day in, day out, from all sorts of locations not there.<br /><br />Why commute?<br /><br />Because I enjoy it? I think not.<br />Because there's nothing better than sitting (if you're very lucky) on a crowded train (which, incidently, this morning had no heating so was approximately 5 degrees) for at least 30 minutes? Erm, no.<br />Because the city is buzzing and there's nothing quite like working there? Eh-uh (noise that the Family Fortunes buzzer makes when you get a wrong answer).<br />Because it's cheap, reliable and easy to travel into London by train? Hmm. Don't get out much, do you?<br /><br />Really, I can think of no good reason to commute other than I have been sucked into the cycle of jobs that only exist in the city. Boo.<br /><br />However, I am trying to get out <em>whoop!</em> (I have been trying to get out for a while now but this just makes me more determined than ever). I am currently applying for jobs nearer to where I live.<br /><br />Makes sense, eh? Well, I think so.<br /><br />I just can't imagine the joy of not having to get up at 6.20am just because I know that if I don't there won't be a seat available on any train before 10am. Or being able to pop home at lunchtime to feed the cat (his name's Bob and it's his birthday on Thursday - more about him another time).<br /><br />So, wish me luck in my quest.<br /><br />I'll keep you posted...<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/597075476181141316-5377117621780362314?l=ifievergetroundtoit.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Vhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05828841764364920542noreply@blogger.com9
