I don’t usually write in the middle of the day because my brain is drained, and I just don’t have much creative space. Today has been a good day at work so far. I’m about an hour away from finishing up for the day. But I have a little bit of flexibility to leave a bit earlier if I need to.
But I decided to write now, because there’s another part of my day that spreads into the night. It’s another portion to use my brain for, and when I get home, I definitely won’t have time to write.
What am I supposed to say about the day as it develops? Today’s quite unique because the train lines are affected in my area. In Singapore, it’s quite a foreign experience. Our public transport is almost always steady. People are very dependent on a fully working public transport system. Having been to London, I’ve seen public transport not working because of strikes. It’s got nothing to do with power, but people just don’t want to work. I’ve seen faults in Australia, where a line is affected. In Amsterdam, a tram wasn’t working because the driver decided not to show up, and the whole bunch of us were standing there in the cold, waiting for the day to start.
Anyway, I got to work on time, about 10 minutes late. But with the buses in my area, I’ve kinda got used to the idea of that already anyway.
Now it’s time to reserve my brain for the rest of the day, and we’ll see what happens after that.
