I had to run to another building to pick up some files this morning. I took my bike. The weather was fabulous! Clear blue skies, birds chirping, grass growing, leaves coming out on the trees. Since I was just zipping from one building to another, I left the helmet in the office. I had the time of my life. I decided I needed to do that some more, so I came home for lunch. Right now I’m eating leftover pizza, sitting in the dining room, listening to the birds outside and watching the cats have some fun.
This is WAY better than sitting in my cubicle, breathing the stale office air, trying to avoid answering the phone and getting annoyed when someone comes into the cube during lunch with an environmental review crisis so I have to go back to work before my lunch hour is up. What idiot in her right mind would sit in her cube when she could bike home in 5-10 minutes and forget about work completely for a bit? I might even have a scoop of ice cream when I’m finished with the leftover pizza.
Yeah, I did that a few times at one of my jobs–the first time I did it because I’d left my lunch at home and was too broke to eat out.
I would get back to work feeling revived! Made the afternoon go faster since it didn’t feel like it had been as long since I’d been home.
