A while ago, I was given the very generous offer of having my driving lessons paid for by my employer, no strings attached -- other than the implied "please stay working with us" on the side. While I'd be a fool to say no to such a significant thing, I'm still incredibly anxious about the whole ordeal... No problem about being too reckless or anything, of course, but more likely my paranoia about making mistakes will make for a bumpy ride in more ways than one.
I'll be having my first proper driving lesson this coming Wednesday. Not looking forward to that one bit... I don't see the point of being able to drive a car, personally speaking... The only purpose I can see would be not being dependent on public transport for getting to/from work, and having me run errands and whatnot. Everything points to things that go against my own interests, but I don't think there's anything I can do about that now.
I keep getting the "oh, you'll have so much more freedom to go where you want" point shoved in my face, but really, all I genuinely care about is being at a place with a computer and internet... Why travel anywhere? Meh, the main positive thing I can think of would be forcing people I'd eventually be driving with to listen to my music of choice, eheh. ...doesn't change that I'm deathly nervous about the upcoming day, tho'!
