oh, why do I do that?

[winterbadger]

I left work early, so that instead of twiddling my thumbs doing nothing there, I could do something I need to do here at home.

I left an hour early (which I will need to make up). It took me 90+ minutes to get home, instead of the 40-60 it usually takes.

So I effectively *lost* 30-50 minutes, of which I spent an inordinate amount watching other drivers zoom up to the far end of the lane I was in and shoehorn themselves in front of everyone else patiently waiting.

And, of course, I'll have to work an extra hour later in the week.

Huzzah.

I hate DC traffic.

I hate it when people push in instead of just waiting their turn - grrrrrr

Including pulling out onto the slip road when you've been on the carriageway to go around traffic, and driving on the verge.

"carriageway"
My wife has been watching a lot of BBC America lately (Dr. Who mostly) and said she "nicked" me a brownie from work.... I naturally thought of you ;)

I try to employ the language of my correspondents. :-) If *you* had replied, I would have inveighed against the SOBs who pull out onto the shoulder or the merge lane to go around traffic on its blind side on the Beltway. :-)

LOL. I'd believe you had you not wished me Happy Christmas!

Yeah, some things are instinctive. :-)
