monday’s revelations

i discovered today that one must allow oneself more time to get to work on mondays, as many other people are running late.

the train was extra crowded today – the train itself was late too, and took longer than usual to make the same journey.

i also realised that trains are more crowded at 6.30pm than at 6.50pm.

yuck.

picking up from a previous train of thought that i work 1.5 more hours a day than the average European (or specifically the average Briton), that means that I work about 1 extra day per week than they do.

this adds up to 52 extra days per year, and if you consider that their amount of paid leave is more than what we get in Singapore, is roughly 2 extra months a year.

oh man. where are our trade unions?????
