Hobbies on the go
Today I dropped off my work car for service. They told me it would take two hours, and there wasn’t much I could do but sit and wait.
When I told a colleague, he said: “Oh, what a drag! It’s always like that. I hate waiting!”
Me, I thought: “Yay, two hours to tinker with my blog.”
So I found a seat in the lounge, grabbed a cup of coffee (there’s always free coffee at car repair places here in Sweden, it’s practically a law), and opened my laptop. By the time my car was ready, so was the little thing I’d built while waiting: a new notes section 1.
Those two hours flew by. Honestly, I wouldn’t have minded if they’d said it would take an extra hour.
Hobbies are important. We all need a hobby — and if at least one of them works anywhere, that’s a win.
