To be fair while I don’t enjoy driving in by myself at times I have to – we work shifts and if the person I car share with is on the lates and I’m on the earlys neither of us wants to hang around the office till the other is finished. Everyone should try and do their part and I’m sure Phill is doing his – doesn’t stop the traffic being bad though!

I’m looking for other options in terms of transport, at my old job I used to train in (OK except for the delays…) but unfortunately since I started my new job in March there aren’t many other options.

I think one of my co-workers lives nearby (still getting to know people here) so I am going to see if I can arrange to give him a lift or something.

Any way you look at it the transport situation in Colchester is far from ideal, and I know “whining” about it doesn’t help, but it was at least cathartic for me. And it’s my blog, so my rules :p

Get a bike or quit whining.

You will come around to the biker way…

Have a Ipod car adapter you can borrow if you want… ;)

Ah, probably not at work. And talking about complaining, yes I am currently at work, which really shows how much we’re doing today if I’m making comments like this. Hmmm, wonder if I can update my blog from work?

Taking another ten minutes to get to the station is pretty bad given you’re only getting across Colchester – the A12 wasn’t quite so bad but was still worse than usual. Ah well.

Where would we be if we didn’t have anything to moan about, eh?

Despite catching the slightly earlier bus which would usual kick me out at the station at about 8.40, this time I didn’t stumble into work until about 8.50. That’s ten minutes of my life on a bus when I could have been doing something more interesting like moaning about work first thing in the office. :)
