Enemy of the environment

I drove to work today alone in my car. I was surrounded by others who were also alone in their cars. I played tag with 18-wheelers for a car-length of available space. Stop. Go. Stop. Go. Stop. GO GO GO! I called countless drivers countless names and made many silent mental death threats. My finger behaved itself.

Elapsed time door to desk at work: 45 minutes.

If I did it by transit: 1 hour, 30 minutes.

Time saved on 1 trip: 45 minutes
Time saved today: 1 hour 30 minutes
Time saved in a week: 7 hours 30 minutes
Time saved in a year: 17 days 8 hours

I want to take transit: but the train and subway are stealing the minutes, the hours, the days of my life.

The one thing you can't buy more of in this world is time.

Shut up.
