If you are fortunate enough to work from home, or perhaps to
work within a short walk from your house, you can be forgiven for not realising
just how stressful the morning commute can be for some people. Take a look at
any major road in just about any town or city during the rush hour, and you
will see just how many people are facing a daily struggle that is, to put it
mildly, immensely frustrating. There are times when it must make you feel like
just giving up and staying at home instead.
The problem is of course that we all need the work because
we want the money, and if there is no chance of finding work closer to home
then you are stuck with it. Whether you are operating friction stir welding machines in a workshop, sitting at the checkout in one of our
supermarkets or inputting data at a computer in an office, you may find
yourself tired, angry and frustrated before you have even got to the place in
readiness for your shift. Sadly, this is a fact of life for a great many people
now.
The friction stir welding machines are waiting patiently
While the machines and computers stand idle, you could be
stuck in yet another traffic jam on yet another busy road. It goes without
saying that millions of commuters in Britain choose to use public transport options instead, and while this is an understandable decision it
should be noted that it isn’t completely stress-free either. Trains and buses
can be extremely packed in the mornings and in the evenings, adding to the
stress levels and no doubt making the commuter feel like simply turning round
and going home instead.
This congestion can put you in the wrong frame of mind to work
diligently throughout the day. Operating friction stir welding machines, to use
an example, requires a great deal of concentration but it can be difficult to
focus right through the shift when you are still stressed out by the morning journey into work. No wonder so many people are jealous of those who are
able to work from home, or those who have nothing more than a pleasant short
stroll in order to get from their house to their work station. In a perfect
world, traffic congestion simply would not exist.
