A Passing Cloud

07:38 train to London. Girl sits across the isle to me. Munching on a danish pasterie. Chomp Chomp. Finished. Throws danish pasterie paper bag onto the floor under the seat. I look across at her horrified. No manners

2:00 Work. Gather round a collegues desk to present gifts on the news of his new baby. With gratitude and humility he accepts the small token. It was a small informal service; very beautiful, very moving, but tinged with sadness, as collegues child is thousands of miles away from him in India. With dignity he accepts the gift and spoke of his longing to go out to India to see his wife and child. I wanted to cry buckets.

5:00 train to Norwich.
Man in front seat of me continually picks at spots on neck for one hour. No Manners
The woman behind leans too close to me. She has bad breath. No Manners
5:10
I stare up at a passing cloud. Escapism. All is calm.

So when I have the misfortune to meet with grumpy grumpy and im talking real grumpy people, I just wanna kill them!! I just dont get it. Whats their problem? Why cant they just go home and be grumpy there instead of inflicting it on the general public. I sometimes give them about 2 sec of my life. I say "Loser" to myself and that's it. But some how they are still annoying me just by being i...
