I was heading to a customer meeting last Thursday with 2 colleagues when one of them mentioned my new car. Apart from the colour, he knew it was a new car because it only had 11500 miles on it. That's since June.
That got me thinking about the travelling i did last year.
I drove about 17000 miles myself, a good few by train, and a couple of flights because there wasn't enough time to drive.
Apart from a train running slow due to very high winds i gave been remarkably lucky with my travels.
A freak blizzard closed the road about 20 minutes after i passed through.
On the down side there gave been a number of friday meetings in Warrington that keep me late. And more than a fair share of Sunday night starts for Monday morning internal meetings. Also a lot of my train journeys were on the 0512 from Ayr.
Not sure what this year has for me. I have a personal target to increase my trip efficiency, but that's OK because that means no more day trips (well fewer anyway).
Thus being said i got back from Dublin Tuesday night. I drove to Warrington Wednesday morning and home Friday night. Back down Wednesday morning and again back Friday night. This time caught in the snow so it was almost 2200 before i got in. Then away again Sunday afternoon and not due back until Wednesday.
Being in post over a year now makes it easier to say that i don't agree with some of the plans, but probably notnin post long enough to affect anything.
