Linda tell us Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “drive.” Use it any way you’d like. Have fun! Well let’s fill up the tank and get rolling down the road. To join in the fun and frolic, here are the rules and ping pack.
Drat!! Wouldn’t ya know it? I’m not even outta the driveway yet but and there’s been a collision. Not just a fender bender either but a full on rollover road trip musical pileup.
Dang, 1984 was a good year. Makes me nostalgic as hell. The Cars were a big part of that. I saw drive and BOOM. Ear worm with no turning back.
Trying to get unstuck I thought I might write about the reduction in miles I’ve driven since the Rona hit and I’ve been working from home. But that’s boring. Blah, blah, blah saving wear and tear on my vehicle, saving money on gasoline/fuel, saving time with a few step stroll from bedroom to in-home office instead of a 52 mile round trip commute to & from the mothership. How the hell did I do that for 36 years?!??! Music on the car radio! That’s how!!
Not much on tap for the remainder of the day. Lulu moved her lab work to later this morning so the results will be ready for her doctor’s appointment next Saturday. Why Saturday? Well because she has a J.O.B now. Three is a charm. She cannot take off work during her probationary period (she’s about 2/3 of the way through). She’d had mandatory overtime since week four. When we were in it with her, we thought it’d never end but things turned a corner; there is no turning back. Keep driving ahead.
As always, more to come.

Working from home and saving on miles and gas is not all that boring. I think many have been excited and happy with that and I know I was last year during the months that I was still working. One of my former bosses will be returning regularly to the office, which means a 50 minute commute one way, every day. I told her she should be allowed to work from home a couple days during the week because why not since it was doable for over a year.

Wow twice what I have to go that’s something. I have to go back in July. But in a hybrid model. Which means working from home some days with flexibility to decide which days in and which days out.

Good news about the J O B. I missed driving to work, a little after I retired, Or perhaps I misses stopping for breakfast. Enjoy the weekend.

I agree – music during the commute is the only salvation. I’m glad my commute is only half yours.

There were times when I wanted to relocate just for a closer commute. But I love our place and being out in the country. Thanks for stopping by.
