THE EARLY BIKER CATCHES THE EARLY BIRD

”Don’t you often come to work by bike instead of metro?” ”Yes, all summer long, Basically ever since there’s no snow.” //
13 kilometers in the morning and another 13 in the afternoon. //
”You’ve probably had the time to listen to quite a few books while biking?” ”Well…” //
”I don’t listen to books when I bike. Or to music or anything.” //
”What do you do while biking, then? Since it takes that long every day?” ”Well. I concentrate on what I’m doing.” //
I observe the nature and the birds around me. //
And, in the old-fashioned way, just think about whatever’s in my mind. //
”I think it’s good to listen to one’s own thoughts sometimes and not just everyone else’s.” ”That’s for sure!”

THE EARLY BIRD CATCHES THE EMPTY METRO

”Good morning!” ”Morning.” //
”How come you’re always at work this early?” ”Well, I’m more of a morning person, always have been.” //
”And secondly, coming here early means getting out of the metro before the morning rush hour.” //
Because the rush hour metro is terrible.” //
”Understandable.” ”And since I come here early, I also get to leave early.” //
”More free time in the evening, then.” ”Yes, and…” //
…I get to the metro before the afternoon rush hour!

Jimmy-Joe is a wallaby.

”Hehe. I could combine a whole child out of all the things people lose here.”

”I wonder what the Boss wants to talk about?” //
”Has a customer given some feedback? has one of the summer guides messed up somehow? Have I messed up?” //
”Maybe there’s something wrong with the work time logs?” //
”Or something in the program doesn’t work?” //
