Well, I was stood at the bus stop this morning at 5.50am, Waiting for my Bus into town.
Here's my morning Journey.
5.50am into Barnsley
6.10am into Leeds
And then usually a connection train around 7.15 from leeds into Dewsbury.
So I arrive in Dewsbury at 7.30.
Then I have a 15 minute walk up to work.
For which I start at 8am.
Yes, it's a lot of travelling, But it shows how much the job is worth it.
Now, I've been sat here since 6.30am in the office, in Dewsbury. So that means I made it from Barnsley to Dewsbury in 40 minutes...including a 10 minute wait
How did this happen you may wonder.
Well, I was standing at the bus stop waiting for my bus, and it was delayed.
And I was talking to this old lady, Saying I'm supposed to be catching a train at 10 past, and it's now 6. And obviously that's not going to happen now. I have to be in dewsbury before 8.
And to my rescue, girly to my left hand side says, "Dewsbury! I'm going to dewsbury!"
So I look at my watch (But don't really let anything about the time or the consequences of a taxi this early sink in) and say
"Do you want to get a Taxi together and split the cost"
So we did. Talked lots, Nice girl. Lives near me. Arranged to meet up in future and travel to dewsbury together. win.
......And then I'm stood in Dewsbury at 6.25am
An hour and a half before work starts. An hour and a half added onto my day.
A warning, In future, Just because a pretty girl is talking to you. Still let your brain calculate things. Other than chance of scoring
