h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I'm out of town all week, this week. I should probably be doing stuff, but I can't be bothered.

I shoulda gone up today, and stayed over tonight, because as it is it means I'll have to get up early for trains and suchlike.

I also have rather too much month left at the end of my pay, so I might have to exchange the little Euro cache that I keep for going away. I don't think they'll let me ride free on the train just on account of my stunning good looks and wonderful personality (philistines).

Luckily pay day isn't too far away. Otherwise it could be a even longer week.

Dum-de-dum...I'm bored on the train now, because I forgot my book as I was running late.

There should be more entertainment on trains.

The only entertainment there is is an excitable English woman, who is a dead ringer for a) Freddie Mercury and b) a girl I used to go out with (who strangely looked nothing like Freddie Mercury).

The resemblance is slightly disturbing, I can't lie.

I'm running a couple of hours late, but I'm so definitively, irrevocably late that worrying and rushing won't help, so I may as well chil out and relax.

I don't understand. You were on time for the train, otherwise you wouldn't be on it now. So how can you be running late?

Because that was the train an hour later than the one I should have been on!

Uh oh!

"chil out and relax.

" always the aporoach to take. whatever th e the circumstances IMO people worry too much... it never helps... trains get you somwhere... at some time... everything else is just details... heating over the details doesn't help either... I've often found myself somwhere I didn't intend to be, and, sometimes, its ended up being exactly where I needed to be who cares there the strains going... or when its goign to get to whwere its going... all destiantions are... destinations.... - everyone has to be somewhere, afterall.... I don't think the exact location is ever that important... its moreoften right than wrong, afterall

Does the trip matter more than the destination? Sometimes, yes. Sometimes, no.
