I realised last night that my time stamp was wonky, and that might confuse some - I am in Western Australia and it was set to some sort of US time I think - now it is set to WA time, which means that I am not going to work late Sunday evening!
No, I work more or less regular hours, although when I am on song I start work around 6.30am. My hours are flexible though and right now I am having trouble getting out of bed early enough. In fact Last week there was one day when I didn't get in until 9.45!
I did sleep in, ignored the alarm (Big mistake of course), so I decided to drive in instead of taking the train. Left home at about 7.30, hit the freeway and did not top 40kph all the way to town. In fact most of it was walking pace. Don't know what the cause was, but it was raining a bit and here in Perth people go into intense panic mode when it rains. It seems as though it must be some incredibly dangerous thing to have a bit of wet stuff on the road here, so everyone goes extra slow - except the few that crash into things thereby propagating the myth.
Now I am a fairly conservative driver - I don't follow close, try not to speed, etc - but I don't hang around and waste time either. and I do take it a little easy in the rain too - although my car has selectable constant 4x4 for that, which I do use. The thing that annoys me is that people drive 20kph below the speed limit on a free flowing freeway, just because it is raining. Maintain the gap for sure, even increase the gap for safety, but nothing is going to jump out in front of you on a freeway! And if you are watching ahead in the traffic then you can easily anticipate any slow downs.
Anyway - it is time I started walking to the train.
Enjoy your coming day, and get your nose into the Word sometime today.
