Blurred Thought

Why did I do that?

A while ago I started taking the bus to work. My office is just across town so the bus ride is short and comfortable. I have less than one minute walk from my home to the bus stop, which is at the end of my block, and I get off right under the building where my office is. I have time to read, think, look around, and all the other things you do while using public transportation.

Yesterday I took the car. Why? Oh why did I do that? First, after almost two months of sunny days it started raining - all the dust on my windshield became dark mud smudged all over it. Second, I got stuck in a traffic jam right in the middle of town, I could have swore there never was one when the bus passed by there. If this wasn’t enough there was no place to park, sure, there is paid parking in the building, but with the amount they charge for a days parking I can take public transportation for a week. So eventually I parked two blocks away and had to go during lunch to shove some more coins into the coin monster.

Why did I take the car than? Well, we had to attend a wedding party that evening. The thought was that by using the car I’d save some time on my way back home. I don’t know how much time I saved but it wasn’t worth the hassle.

The wedding, by the way, was very nice. It took place here in the Sheraton, three blocks from my workplace.
