A Tale of Two Cities (Two Days Too Late)

1. I wake up. Late. Looking rough.

2. I miss the bus.

3. I don't get a seat on the train.

4. I'm swept along in a river of people, like Simba in the Lion King. The stampede scene.

5. I get the tube.6. While being swept along by another human tide, I pass Mufasa the lion's trampled corpse at Kings Cross Station.

7. I finally get to work.

8. And the rest of the day looks like this. Until half 5, at which point I repeat steps 1-7, in reverse.

Wednesday, however, did not look like this. On Wednesday, mes amies, I went to Paris! This goes some way to explaining why my post is somewhat en retard. Yes, it was a work trip, but Paris is beautiful and, thanks to Erin's incredibly patient other half, I got to see some of the sights (and to meet Erin herself making her the first real, live blogger I've ever met!).

A Day in the Life

This week we are doing photo-centric posts - little photo essays. I decided to take my camera to work with me so I could chronicle my early morning shift for you guys. If any of you read my main blog, My Quarter-life Crisis, you'd know that last week I slept in and was late. Not this week! Yay!

I got up earlier than this actually - I just wanted you to see how insanely early it was.

Walking to work. It was raining and smelled like skunk. Spring is coming.

Huge puddles in the sidewalk reflecting street lights. Good thing I wore my rain boots.

Light in a puddle.

At work. Someone I work with must have drawn this on one of the chalk mugs.

Cinnamon topping!

I thought the cherry danishes looked particularly delicious today.

Espresso portafilters.

Sadly this was my own money. Trying to encourage generosity. 

Rain stopped, but snow continued to melt into huge puddles.

Dirty slush.

I found my bowler hat. But the photo is so dark you can't tell.

 I was trying some sort of 80s Molly Ringwald look here.

So there ya have it - my morning in photos. Now I'm going to nap because it's Monday and that means I have Quiz Night at the pub tonight. I have a bit of a sore throat too, so I want to rest up.

Also, we lost the 20-Something Blogger's Bootleg award for Best Group Blog. Guess not that many people know about us.

I just had to laugh, Tom, I saw the photograph...

See ya Wednesday.

Happy Monday!
