Getting2Work

Four days off … it made going to work that much harder this morning.  But thank goodness traffic was pretty good.   So that made up for it.  As a matter of fact most drivers were driving a bit slower than most early mornings.  I was a bit tired and feeling no rush either.  So I went along with the slower flow and still made it into work right at 6:00am.

Mid-afternoon I remembered to email my daughter to make sure she finished her summer homework today.  First day of school is tomorrow.  It never fails … kids wait till the last minute.  (Don’t even dare ask if I had reminded them!!!)  Good thing I emailed her.  She asked me what time I was coming home and that reminded me that even though Monday was a holiday.  It was only good for 8 hours.  I have to make up the 2 hours since I have been doing 4/10 this summer.  2 hours do seem much.  I figured I’ll work one hour extra today.  Do my usual 10 hours tomorrow and another 11 hours on Thursday.  I know some people work a lot longer hours per day.  Unfortunately the commute gets worse every minute you delay.  I swear the amount of traffic increases exponentially.

Maybe a lot of people took extra day off or just good old Tuesday traffic.  Even though I left at five, it only took me one and a half hour to get home.  Not too bad!  I know some of you think that I am crazy to say that an hour and a half commute time is not bad.  But trust me … it is not bad for an LA commute!
