Mileage

Sometimes I’m just too organised. This week has turned out to be a case in point. Because of the travelling I’m doing, I order my train tickets online, and book accommodation in advance too. To me it just makes sense to be organised on that kind of thing, and it keeps me on top of things.

However, this week we’ve got a meeting down in Poole, with the company that’re supplying the Content Management System for the company. And if I’d been less organised, I’d have been able to work at home on the Monday, travel to Poole from Bracknell on the Tuesday, and not have to be up in Cambridge ’til Wednesday morning. But of course I’d been organised, so I’d got the train tickets booked in advance, and got the hotel for the week sorted too.

Which means that this week I’ll be travelling to Cambridge on Monday, then going with work colleagues down to Poole for the day, then back, and then back to normal work on Wednesday. In short, a fair amount of mileage. I suppose it works out about the same mileage whatever way I do it, but this way will just require all the miles to be in larger dollops.

Should be fun, all the same.
