Run!

Today I did actually get up at a good time. And I got ready well, even ironed a pair of pants and a t-shirt. Anyway, I wasn't all that late in the
office, 7.30 am. Compaired to yesterday, 9.48 am, that is very good.

Unfortunately, I had forgotten, wether I had unplugged my iron. Usually, because I often actually forget to unplug it, I got into the habit of doing the unplugging very ceremoniously. But today I didn't do that.
Because this kind of thing can preoccupy my mind for hours on end, with all its horrible possibilities and because in my new job I have not yet so very important things to do: I raced home. Took the train at 9.40, walked in record-time to my flat (4 Minutes), saw, that it was actually unplugged.

Then I was relieved and decided to visit the bathroom, packed my suncream, pulled the blind up did the usual, including the thorough hand-wash and raced off again to take the bus at 10.09 to catch the train at 10.24. And so I was checked back in at 10.47 am. Good aye?

Now: you may wonder: why does she walk (or run) from the train station, but take a bus to the train-station back?
Easy answer: two different train-stations. The one I arrived at, is about 8 minutes walking away from my home. The one I left from is about an 8 minutes-busride away from my home. So why do I chose another one to get back?
Two Reasons. First, if I take the bus, I can read while I get there. And second: sometimes, my train is late or does not come at all. And in that case the chosen station is better, as it leaves more options to get to my place of work. Great, isn't it? Plus: I can get a Cappuccino there.

So, though I am not proud of the iron-problem, I am proud of my getting around so fast and without fuss. It meant though, that I had to stay a lot longer. Especially, since I took a longer lunch break. Still, it was worth it.

This just a shorty. So maybe just a short - not owned by me - clip..

 

 I thought: short people might suffice. It has the word short in it and it is funny. Untrue, maybe insulting, but hey: if you don't like the text: enjoy the music... :o)
