bad trains

the tube (subway) was screwed yesterday so bad. i usually just have to get one train on the jubilee line and its about 10-15 stops and i am at work. one train and it takes about 45minutes.
yesterday it was
jubilee line to finchley road. had to change trains because of power failure.
metropolitan line to baker street
circle line to liverpool steet
central line to bank station
dockland light railway to westferry.
doclands light railway to canary wharf and 2 hours after leaving my house, i was at work.

i was not in the best mood. for all those that complain about traffic, at least you are sitting down in your own little cubicle.:-)
i spent most of that 2 hours on various trains standing up squashed against all the other commuters. i had more space in the mosh pit at a janes addiction concert.
it also took me nearly 2 hours to get home after work as well because the trains were still fucked.

had the mother of all workouts at the gym last night and worked out all my angst from my journey to and from work. felt a million times better afterwards. have football tonight as well and that will chill me out even more.

am working this saturday and i worked last saturday. unlike previous jobs, i am getting paid for it, so that makes it better. the benefits of being a contractor. time is money baby!.

a friend of mine has gone travelling round the world for a few months and i went out for drinks with him a couple of days ago. he said he is going to be in california at the end of june and that it would be good to see if we could meet up out there. it sounds very tempting. will see how the next few months pan out. was planning to go to the states late summer anywys, so we will see how it goes.

today i have mostly been listening to PJ Harvery - A place called home - awesome song.
One day...I know...We'll find... A place of hope... Just hold on to me
