That Commuter Look

I'm writing this as I travel into work in London by train. We just stopped at Maidenhead where I noticed something very frightening. It was so frightening that I broke off from concentrating on the audiobook I'm listening too in order to write this post.

The frightening thing was the look on the faces of people joining the train. It was a look of complete manic fear that they may not get a seat on the train for the relatively short journey to London. It was "that commuter look".

The fear for me is twofold. Firstly, do I have that look myself? Secondly, please never let me have that all consuming scary look.

I love my job and I hope the commuter look people do too. I wake up before the crack of dawn and can't wait to get my day started. I read of someone the other day who described it as not even wanting to go to sleep because you couldn't wait to get back to work! I hope the look I give out is of a total passion for what I do. I just don't ever want to have that commuter look on the train to work!

(I dare say this made no sense whatsoever if that's the case it's probably as a result of my descent into that certain commuter look)
