The Pain of Not Getting to Ride

I know I'll be preaching to any biker choir here, but not being able to get out on the bike sucks.
For me, my reasons are two-fold.

1. The obvious "bloody white stuff falling from the sky" that we've had on and off for a couple of days;
2. I normally wear glasses, so when riding I prefer to put in contacts

Now, I'll explain the second one more fully.
For short journeys, I would normally be OK with wearing my glasses. And my daily commute is short. However, at these colder temperatures, as soon as I stop [or worse, while moving] my glasses will steam up unless I ride with the visor open.
And my eyes have been sore from continual use of contacts recently. Largely because I've went from rare use - once a week on average, for a few hours - to having them in from 8am till about 7pm.

Couple this with the harsh lights that seem to be getting used at my work, and by about 3pm my eyes have been burning each day.
Therefore, I'm resting my eyes.

But gah, I want to be filtering through those lines of cars. Those people cursing other drivers for causing them to be stuck moving only a few miles an hour.
Instead, I'm stuck in public transport hell; sitting on a packed tram.

Pity me?
