Dog Day Afternoon

By Mieka Smiles on Jan 12, 10 09:41 PM

Tonight it took two hours to get home. Two stinking hours. And it wasn't even on the nice train where you can plug in your laptop. It was on (as it will forever now be dubbed) The Dog Train.

ABOVE: THE DOG TRAIN IN ALL ITS GLORY

Not because it has dogs on it but because it actually reeks of dogs. Yes I was stuck on The Dog Train for two hours. I love my job but a two hour commute home from work would have anyone asking a few questions.

The trip wasn't helped by the man I was sat next to (kept putting his knee against mine) or by the man sat opposite (repeatedly blew his nose into a dirty tissue, ramming it up either nostril afterwards).

As a result of my awful trip home I haven't been in the best of moods tonight and the husband has suffered a fair bit, to put it mildly. He rolls out of bed to get to work and so it's only logical he bears the brunt of my wrath.

Right off to bed to pray for a better commute tomorrow. Or at least one that doesn't put me off my food.
