Huh, seems like today's the day for feeling an unspecified sense of unease. Bad memories keep floating up today. Angry at traffic. Constantly feeling anxious about my bladder. Had to use my own work phone rather than shared device for work fieldwork today and its battery life is getting from bad to worse. Even the battery pack isn't saving it. Sitting in the car waiting for it to get to at least 10%... shame, I had hoped to power on through and finish this entire section today (and throw the shit part - and only the shit part - to someone else 😬)
One thing I can tell you is that it helps just to accept the traffic for what it is and not get angry at it.
I often just take a big sigh in the afternoons and tell myself that the traffic is there and there's no point getting angry at it but it does help to have radio shows on at the time that I like to listen to.
Bugger about the phone though :(
I've definitely had to exercise a lot of patience and calm on the Monash (which I normally avoid like the plague). Today I just felt really short with people going too slow in a way that was impossible to get around easily. But it's much much easier in the Nice Work Car which has dynamic cruise control and all the things to warn you of other cars doing silly things
