I've just had a bit of a mini revelation.
Today there is another tube strike. Which means the entirety of London takes to the streets, either in cars or on the bus. Last week, there didn't seem to be much problem getting in, although getting out was hell. (I think I wrote about it somewhere.) Today, I decided not to chance it - and, seeing Essex Road (one of the roads down which a man must go... Just another 41 to go, then.), I think I made the right decision - and walked to work.
It was a very nice walk, seeing some very nice architecture and some posh shops, and it took me roughly five minutes more than it would have taken on the bus. Admittedly, this time includes the length of time it takes to wait for the bus, but, I normally leave the house between 7.45-7.50 and get to work between 8.20 and 8.30. Today, I left at 7.40 and got here at 8.25. The only drawback being, no reading time. But, it'll be back to getting fitter again and it may even help me lose a bit more weight and mean that I don't have to go to a gym. I certainly worked up a bit of a sweat. Which will be nice for my co-workers... It's a bit of a pity that I've just spent £30 on a bus pass, really. Oh well, I'm sure I'll still use it.
Getting here this morning, it seemed like I was the second person here, after Maggie, my line manager (who is very nice, with an extremely dry sense of humour, although I don't know her very well, yet.) It was nice, very quiet and calm.
I actually have had some work to do in the last couple of days. Not a huge amount, admittedly, but it'll keep me going for a little while. So, I suppose I'd better think about going to do it. Although, I also need to go and check out Neil Gaiman's journal and the comics news first.
