Lunchtime Conversation

Today I had a celebratory lunch with colleagues to mark the completion of a recent project. During the talking the subject of travel came up.

While some were talking about places for "cheap" parking ($10 per day) and others mentioned getting $75 parking fines for leaving their car somewhere too long, i mentioned that i was already on free travel for the rest of the week.

People were impressed (and slightly awestruck). I explained that along with my daily commute, i had attended a lunchtime seminar on Monday, and visited a friend in hospital on Tuesday, and so Wednesday morning 8am was my last paid trip for the week.

Even the bus fare to the lunch was free. As will every other fare for the remaining 4 and a half days this week.

Stay tuned - i may set a new personal record :)
