I realized earlier this summer I have a vague system in which I do things. Most of which is leaving the house an hour and a half before I have to be at work, get on the Bart, go to Starbucks, kick it and make the most of a cigarette and then finally arrive at work, the same routine getting off of work.
I have an Ipod that I catch up on some podcasts for real news whilst on the Bart. When I get to Starbucks I listen to music read the paper and catch up on what paris hilton is doing. It’s a perfectly enjoyable experience for me.
Well, tonight I was about to do the reverse of my routine which included me picking up smokes cause I was out, when my co-worker asked someone else who I don’t know to give me a ride to the Bart station! She comes up to me and says “By the way I got a ride to Bart for you.” I was perfectly happy with walking, I was actually looking forward to listening to a new album I put on my Ipod and its such a great night out. Just the thought of sitting in a car with someone I don’t know, thinking they are doing me a favor gives me anxiety. I could just say “No thanks” but that would be kind of rude since he didn’t volunteer, someone asked him. I don’t really want that to be the first impression of someone I work with.
So I then decided to vent and dedicate this rant to people who volunteer other people to do things. Be sure you are actually doing them a favor first.
