I have to drive to Hobart tomorrow (4 hours) to head office and the other guy who works remotely is also going (2 hour drive for him). I'm getting ready for it, downloading an audiobook to listen to when he suddenly asks if he can catch a ride with me because someone else wants the car he's booked or whatever and I could not think of anything worse than having to sit in the car for 2 hours with someone else.

I told him that he booked it first, TS to the other person who wants it (who is higher up than him). He's going to speak to our boss and I know he's going to make me drive him.

Oh deary me. Your own little bubble invaded just like that. Not cool.

Hopefully they’ll just fall asleep and not want to talk.

Too idealistic?

I didn't hear anything so I think I'm good. Audiobook is back on the menu!

audiobook sounds good

My husband wants me to talk to him the whole time, to entertain him. ( he rarely talks in return ) I just want music or a book or to look out the window. I can talk when the drive is over.( unless it's a wombat on the side of the road and then I'll say something )
