  • 25 minute car drive. I almost never have traffic jams during my commute. The longest it has taken me was around 40 minutes when I had to take a detour due to farmers protests.

    I have a bus stop near my house. It takes 45 minutes to get to the city of my job and then I have to take another bus to get to my job itself.

    It would probably take a bit over 1 hour to get there on a bicycle. I would get extra money if I went to work on a bicycle. The main reason I don’t cycle to work is that I don’t think it’s safe. Most of the route I would have ride on a little strip 2 meter away from cars and trucks going 90km/h. Or I can take a longer route where I have to ride on a little strip right next to traffic going 70km/h.









  • Dirty pits. I work as a mechanic on busses and try to keep my pit clean. If the work I’m doing makes a lot of sand fall down, I sweep it aside so I don’t walk through it. If the bus has a leak, I put something beneath it to catch the oil/coolant/fuel until I get to fix it.

    Most of the coworkers don’t care and their pit is a mess. They ask for help with something and you have to navigate through puddles and sand piles to get to them.

    They also don’t put the shared equipment back on its right place so you waste a lot of time trying to find it.


  • Tip for the people who don’t like waffles: go to Belgium and visit a ‘wafelhuis’. Order a Liège or Brussels waffle with a good topping like powdered sugar, whipped cream or chocolate sauce.
    Just beware that you go to a proper place and not a tourist scam saloon. If it has stupid toppings like m&m’s or Nutella go to a different place (proper chocolate sauce>>>>Nutella). If it advertises Belgian waffles instead of Liège waffles and/or Brussels waffles go away.
    If you ate some Liège and Brussels waffles and still don’t like them, you are a lost cause.
