I was determned to run, but things didn't go my way at all. First, the London tube maintenance workers union called a strike at 5PM, right in the middle of rush hour. Out of 12 underground lines, only 3 were left running. Luckily for me, one of them was my line, but it was extremely crowded, traines were delayed, and general chaos ensued as millions of people tried to get home from work. In addition, my managers called a meeting at 5PM, and I didn't even get out of the office till 6:15!! By the time I got home, it was 8:30 (and I was still lucky as others took 3+ hours to et home), I was absolutely starving and exhausted and couldn't even think about getting out for a run.
The strike is supposed to last till Friday morning, so I'm in for a fun week. I could have worked from home, but because we just moved, we still don't have internet connection (or phone land line) at home, so I wouldn't be able to do anything, not even dial in for conference calls! |
