I only had a half good commute yesterday.
One of the guys at the shop called in sick. At 3:00 one of the mechanics was scheduled to be off and left. I also was scheduled to leave at 3:00. I hung around a bit to buy some things I needed and/or wanted. I then told the boss that I was leaving.

He was kind of shocked. Not because I was leaving, but because we would be a little short handed at the shop. He asked if I could stay a bit longer. I agreed and took off my cycling shoes and went back to work. I only planned to stay a couple of hours because I knew it was going to get colder and the rain was coming and I was not prepared to ride in those conditions.

Well, one thing led to another and I was there until the close of the shop. Luckily, one of the mechanics that lives somewhat near to me said if I worked until the end of the day, he would give me a lift home. I agreed, otherwise, I would have been very cold in the rain.

So, I only got to commute into work and worse of all, I lied to my dog. I told her I would be home early and I would take her for a long bike ride when I got home.
