Since I don't
trust my
busted leg enough to ride a
bike yet, I'm going to
work using
public transportation. And I don't mind it at all. For a relatively
cheap price (Ok, it could be cheaper) I'm able to just sit back and
enjoy the
scenery not needing to
worry about
traffic, because a
skilled driver is taking me to my
destination. Not to
mention I am
fighting pollution by not
selfishly driving a privately owned
car.
:)
In many
larger cities
around the world the buses/
trains/
subways are filled with
criminals and
urine, making them pretty undesireable to
travel in. Luckily this is not the case in
Hämeenlinna. Especially at this time of year, as the 10 o'clock
bus starts to look like
geriatric express. It's mostly just the
elderly, with a few people like myself going to work. On the
evening bus? Same
thing. Even on
weekends it's
safe. And since us
finns are a
notoriously introverted nation, one doesn't have to spend
his/her time attempting to come up with interesting
smalltalk with a
fellow traveller.
;)
Ok, time to
stop this senseless
noding and get back to work. There's plenty of time to
node later, since the
office will be
empty again after 3 o'clock.
Finland vs.
Sweden in the
hockey championships, you see.
I think I'll
skip lunch and eat at
Carrols at my way home.
Mmmmmmm.. fattening...

It's been a
storm outside. The
cable has been out of order for a while and
stuff flew to our
yard from the
house under construction in the
lot next to us. That's pretty much as
hard as storms get in southern Finland.
I hope they get the cable fixed though.. I wouldn't want to miss taping the
Northern Exposure rerun.
By the way, we beat the
swedes. Woo-hoo. Times like this make me wish I cared about hockey or the
constant competition between the two
neighboring countries.
