Waiting For Me
Someone once said that I have “the patience of a saint” while I was working as a cashier, if you have ever worked with the public you know that patience is a trait that can save your sanity.

How to Prevent Boredom on Long Rail Journeys
Rail journeys tend to be romanticized as people imagine a less complicated time where the rail was a more elegant and sophisticated way to travel.
