I wonder...
Since I started working at my new client I drive the same route, at roughly the same time, every day. This drive takes me over an hour, and if I were to have to brave this drive without any form of stimulation it would be soul-crushing.
Because of this there are many things that I do to pass the time. Most of these things involve listening to things: Podcasts, Music, Audiobooks, people talking to me on the phone, and sometimes myself think.
To share the load between my senses, I have recently started noticing something with my friend ‘the eyes’. I have noticed that I share my daily commute with many of the same people every day. Whether it is ‘Always drives faster than me IS300’, ‘I drive slow, but I always drive a car better than yours Black Audi TT’, or ‘I talk on my cellphone the entire time I am in my Cavalier business casual man’.
There are some cars I don’t like: ‘Better Version of Me in a White GTI’, and ‘Too fast, too furious, too middle management, silver honda civic’.
There are some cars I do like: ‘I drive a Kia rio but I am kind of cute above the shoulders’, and ‘You move I move, just like that Honda CRV’ whose path I follow when weaving through traffic.
It’s neat to know that I know which exits some cars get off on. It’s weird to know that I recognize people who probably don’t recognize me.
I wonder…
Does the owner of the CRV like when I follow him? Does Kia Rio know I exist, yet have a peg leg making her very unattractive?
Maybe one day I will ask.
