1) I had been putting off two tasks at work for about two months because, in my mind, they had become 'huge' and I thought I needed some uninterrupted time to get them done.
I finally did those tasks, and together they only took about an hour and a half.
Lesson: procrastination is evil, postponing these things is never a good idea...
2) Last night I decided to go home from work early, and take the bus (instead of bf picking me up from the subway station).
Result: it took me 1 hour instead of 40 minutes to get home, because I waited for my bus for 20 minutes. And they wonder why I dislike public transportation, so much for going home early...
On the upside: it had been a stormy afternoon, pouring rain, but when I came home the clouds had cleared away. Something special about the combination of stormy winds and catching the end of a sunset, a darkening and slightly starry blue sky suddenly revealed, enhanced by the contrast with a few stray dark grey clouds. |
