now for my feelings about driving to work

I have two main ways of driving to work. I either take citylink, which takes about 45 minutes in the morning if I can get past the Calder Freeway bottleneck before 7am (which is when it becomes a bottleneck), or I go via Greensborough and Box Hill, thus avoiding the city and most of the city traffic, which takes an hour or so, regardless of the time of day. I enjoy Greensborough more, because it's a little more exotic, but I also enjoy citylink more, because it's quicker.

On the way I flick between three radio stations. Either 3RRR (but ever since I've been on radio myself - that is, since 1982 - I've had a lot of trouble listening to music on the radio, so I prefer when they're talking to when they're playing music, by and large, though I do sometimes like the music), Radio National, or 774. 774 is the most annoying, third choice. RN has the greatest peaks and lows. I absolutely refuse to listen to sports news or any sports-related material on any of the stations. I also cannot listen to a certain prime minister so any time his rusty-hinge voice comes on I'm out of there. The breakfast people on RRR are really good although I am disturbed sometimes at how little they know. Then I am also sometimes disturbed by how much they know (compared to me).

If I'm going to drive, which I only do for some of the week anyway, it's almost always preferable to get here early, so as to get a parking space. Otherwise you have to get here and hang around in some strategic place in the car park about 5 minutes past the hour and hope some of the slack students will come and get in their cars and go home. Not that I have ever cruised or stalked but it feels a bit like cruising or stalking. You have to try and read people's body language and figure out what their inclinations are.
