Entry: train delusions Wednesday, July 23, 2008



I used to to love the idea of travelling...seeing new places..meeting new people.  I actually still do...but I have come to realise that it's only pleasurable when you're not doing it for work.  Travelling used to mean jeepneys, buses, and planes within the islands of the Philippines...now, its mainly trains, taxis, and walking..yep, walking. :) 

Now, I seem to have travelled a lot lately because of my work.  It has taken me to several places and most of the time, I got there by train...stuck in the train for hours and hours, the longest being 7 hours in one go.  (My manager for that client was a pain!  He just brushed off my suggestion to get someone who lived closer to do the work).

I don't mind it really, just as long as there are no delays...urgh, speaking of which, the train I am now in going to Leeds from London has stopped...all because of a freight train driver who didnt know how to drive a train and got it derailed.  sheesh!

So now they're trying to organise some coaches from where I am now (Doncaster) to Leeds..and that will take me some hours to get there still.  Sigh, my 3 and a half hour travel can easily become 5 hours.  oh well, all i can do now is laugh! lol...what's a girl to do right?

alright, gotta pack up my stuff so i could go down the blasted train!
