Walking to work

Published by Andrew at 9:56 PM under Life, work

Since the car wouldn’t be ready in time for work (they had to special order a 4th hose), and still isn’t, I elected to walk to work.

The good news is I can still do it. ~5 miles. At 35 and about 80lbs over weight I can still make that walk. I wasn’t even overly tired when I finished. I was, however, very sweaty. No one likes to see a sweaty fat man, least of all me.

I was also very red faced.

But I feel good. I didn’t walk fast enough to be releasing endorphins or anything, but it actually felt pretty good.

I may do that more often, at least while the weather is still cool enough to get away with it. Which means about 1 more week. Might work off some pounds that way. Even if I don’t work off any pounds, it will be good for the heart.

But I will have to remember to carry another t-shirt with me to change into something dry when I get here.
The problem is walking home at 0200.

Now, if only the weekend shift who had been so “not busy” all weekend (I read the shift reports. They claimed to be un-busy all weekend) had actually got any work done, there wouldn’t be a ticket that’s been waiting since Friday to be completed.

It took me all of 10 seconds to do what needed to be done.
