Hate the tube

This morning I was actually going to be in reasonably early! I was at the tube station at 8:30 after my swimming and full of energy. Get to the tube station, train won't be here for 20mins, ok fine, whatever. I get my travel card and go wait dying of boredom. Get out of Boston Manor, jump on the bus, and my travel card hasn't registered. It uses up all my prepay, after I thought my weekly ticket was on the card, and I have to go waste more time. Taking 1hr20 to go what is actually 8 tube stops is a bit ridiculous. Ah well.....
I have actually been put on some more training....maybe they won't fire me. 2 days eRoom XML - web-based class...so don't get to go anywhere fancy, but it should be good.
