Waiting for the next train west

Pushed enter without thinking.

After a very busy day my ride to the station was replaced by arranging a taxi for me. The taxi driver tried to talk me into going all the way to where we stay, as my taxi fare was being paid by the employer. I was expecting to pay myself, but the thought of lying to the manager and costing five to ten times as much didn't even tempt me. The driver was obviously peeved that his fare was going to be very small. He kept trying to persuade me until I got out at the station.

I finished the second book of a thriller trilogy on the train and had to wait until I got home to start the next book.
