Meh
Our first attempt at sharing the car for work has fallen at the first hurdle *rolls eyes*
Rob normally rides his bike to work, while I drive, but his boss needed a lift home today so Rob kindly offered. I'd be dropped off and picked up in the middle. Fine thing.
Except not. Pete didn't need that lift in the end, and the road out of Wareham (where Rob works) is blocked by a pile-up that may not be cleared until *drumroll* 8pm. The few other roads out of there are now stationary, leaving a ferry that costs money and is also queued up.. and naturally Rob has no cash.
Me, I've called a taxi. Am too bloody tired and hungry to even try pulling overtime, and by the time Rob called everyone else had gone home and my friends/family are either stuck in the same jam or halfway to Bristol. Typical.
If Rob had the bike, he'd be happily filtering his way home by now and I'd be working out my aches at yoga *phhhhhbt* just when I really needed it too. Pete can stuff his lift next time :p
Oh yes, and if we'd moved house by now I could have walked.
