Inherently Lazy

Weird, but true.
My new office is up on the fourth floor. The building has both lifts and stairs to get there – and that’s where my laziness kicks in.
You see, the lift takes ages – and I’m too lazy to wait for it, and then dawdle up to the fourth floor. So I slam up eight flights of stairs – eighty steps, all told – and always get to my floor before the lift does.
I know that’s no-one else’s version of laziness, the whole “can’t be arsed to wait” thing. It just always strikes me as somewhat amusing that my version of laziness expends more effort than anyone else’s. It probably says something about my brain, but well, the fact my brain works in strange ways (or possibly in Strangeways) has never been in any doubt at all.
Oh yes, I completely get that. When I lived on a bus route, I was too impatient to wait for the bus so would walk to the next stop. Usually, the bus would overtake me so I’d walk another stop. By the time it was the last half mile, it seemed a waste of money to ride a few hundred yards. So unless the bus was right there at the start, I generally walked it. And I’m the same with a lift too.
