'Heart Of Gold'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
So yesterday we had a public holiday here. It was for the Melbourne Cup. I believe Melbourne is the only place in the world that gets a day off for a horse race. Starting this year too, we got a public holiday on the Friday before the footy grand final.
There are occasions when I love this city. (Of course, I got to spend my Melbourne Cup Day doing an exam, because apparently Melbourne Uni doesn't recognise such frivolity; but the point still stands.)
I guess Derby Day is already on a weekend.
Made it to the end of the day! Popping another benadryl and going home to probably sleep.
Don't fall asleep before you get home!
I left work a few minutes before 5, and it was glorious. My commute was as short as it's ever been, and I had voted, grocery shopped, and picked up the CSA before 6:15! Guaranteed if I had stayed until 5:30 I would never have made it.
Woo hoo, -t!
I could never do the commute I did in DC again. I've been thoroughly spoiled by the 12 steps upstairs-downstairs commute of the last 2 years. I voted too. Felt like I'm tilting at windmills--my area is OVERWHELMINGLY red--but I had to make the attempt.
My commute isn't bad. If all goes according to plan, it's 35 minutes in the morning. But after work during the school year, the bus can be a clusterfuck, and I never feel like walking in the dark, so then it might take an hour.
Timelies all!
The little guy's being fussy, and Gary's on a business trip. sigh...
I like my seven-minute commute a whole lot. I do want to experiment with taking the bus, though.
Made it home, gonna take a full strength Benadryl or two (I keep the children's dissolvable a at work so I don't need water and can maybe not crash at my desk) and chill out. Its been several hours, I expect to not get any worse.
Dana, it looks like Hobby and IAH are about the same price- and distance-wise. Is one better situated from a traffic standpoint?
Hmm. I like Hobby because it's smaller and less crazy. Easier to navigate through, fewer people and lines. I don't honestly know about traffic. If you can manage not to drive at rush hour, that will help. Hobby is closer to downtown, but 45 south is notoriously ugly. As long as your meeting isn't north, I'd probably go for Hobby.
