Slow... Day...
Jul. 30th, 2003 10:54 amWow, this is the longest day in the world. It's only 10:30. That means a full 90 minutes yet before Lunch... I find it marginally sad that I spend the balance of my work day waiting for lunch... arguably, if I had something more engaging to work on, but...
First thing of note, I'm getting rather... irritated by the whole carpooling thing. See, I drive my dad into work in the morning, and then pick him up in the afternoon before going home. Now, this IS a good thing, and it was fine in the beginning. We would leave at 6:30, I'd get to work at about 7:30 or 7:45, pick him up around 4:00 or so, and we'd go home. Now, I don't know if that's slipped or what, but... Well, it just seems to add a full HOUR to my commute, both ways, now. We don't leave at 6:30, we leave closer to 7:00, which means I arrive closer to 8:00, which means I need to stay later in the afternoon, which I don't enjoy. Then, when I go to pick up my dad, and let him know at 4:00 that I'm waiting for him, he doesn't come right down. He routinely waits a good 15 to 30 minutes before he comes down, so it's about 4:30 before we leave his work, and then it takes us roughly an HOUR ust fighting traffic back to where my work is, and then we still have the full commute home (which is only about 30 to 45 min). So we're leaving later and getting home later and, being a creature of routine and schedual (hard as that may be for some to believe), this really starts to grate on my nerves after a while.
( Other things of import. )
