… I have not missed it!
I did something this week that I’ve not done for 1264 days give or take a few. I went on a train!
I was heading into the capital to run a training session for a client so I had to brave the railways.
I never really enjoyed going into the office, especially because of the crowded trains and the underground. I even started walking to the office near Oxford Street to avoid feeling like a sardine in a can!
Anyway, I found myself on a train to London, standing as usual – nothing’s changed.
As we arrived at King’s Cross, I was standing by the door. We came to a standstill and that beeping sound started indicating the doors could be opened.
Suddenly I realised everyone in the carriage was staring at me. After what felt like an eternity, the guy standing next to me pointed out that I had the open button right beside me!
I felt so embarrassed and muttered that I hadn’t been on a train for 3.5 years. I’d forgotten train “etiquette”!
But this can happen to all of us. If you don’t do something for a while, the “how” just fades away from your memory.
