Check your work email.
So, I've been working late recently and started to use the gym at work to decompress.
I'd forgotten how great it feels to just kick my own ass in the gym, or even just focusing on doing an exercise with perfect form. Its a totally different kind of mental effort than my desk job.

Didn't know you lived in South Africa. Hope things improve for you there.
I don't, actually. I'm just sick to fucking death of being tailgated in any conceivable situation.
There's at least one day every week where I get home and have to scream, literally, to vent the frustration of my commute. Which wouldn't be so bad except for all the dipshits on the road.
Driving to work would cut 1/3 to 1/2 off my travel time.
However even with the lost time in taking public transport, my extended life expectancy due to reduced stress and remaining a free man because I haven't punched an idiot in the goddamn throat are winning arguments.
I'm glad I don't really deal with rush hour traffic, since my classes start late enough. I get to and from school in 15-20 minutes instead of 50-70, each way.
If I get a job downtown, I'll probably car pool with my cousin to the nearest LRT station though. It would actually take less time, IIRC, but parking is an issue. It actually costs more to park by the station than it does for me to park just north of the downtown core at university, and I'm less likely to get a spot at the station.

Also can you get a parking at work and how much would tolls run to per week(vs the train)
"also it really shits my mum so it's a good way of winding her up"
I'm sick of carrying around my 8-lb laptop when traveling, and decided to go for something a bit leaner. Even though I could have gone with an iPad, they just don't support SD cards and I'd like to be able to upload pictures I take without having to go to a normal computer. (I also didn't feel like spending $400 for one.)
Today someone in Africa is saying "I'm sick of carrying fifteen litres of dirty water from the town well to our home a kilometre and a half up a hill. Let's order modern infrastructure!"
Normally I hate that kind of FWP rant but jesus Zod, don't you ever complain about modern conveniences again.
