I keep *saying* it, but don't actually DO it.
I'm having the worst time figuring out how long I need to get to work when I want to be there. Looks like I have to leave between 7:15 and 7:20 to make a 8.6 mile tripLol's!!
I left 10 minutes early yesterday, got to work at THE SAME TIME I do if I leave 10 minutes later.
The earlier I leave, the more traffic/buses I get behind.
If I time it right, I miss a lot of the heavier traffic (around Scott AF Base), and the heavier traffic when I get closer to the high school, and then where I work.
I got stuck in the AF Base traffic yesterday morning. It wasn't stacked up, it does that sometimes, was just slower getting through/past the base.
Traffic, stop lights There is one light I've had to wait through three changes to get through! 
I didn't figure you wereOh, and I love, love, love breakfast for dinner.
Going to run on and get my soak and stuff out of the way. Would like to try to get to bed a little earlier that I normally do.
Looks like itOh, and YEA for the short day Dale!!!
Will all Friday's be short ones?? That would be GREAT!!!
) it will be a little longer but shouldn't be much
Steak quesadillas for dinner with salad on the side. Yum.
Hiya DaleHi Joey
Homemade or from that Wild Wing place?
Wow just wow some people should not have the right too breatheGood evening OBG, Dale and Lori
Cool here too
Here's some background info, though I know it will probably be hard to get the full idea. We have to park in this huge lot. To get to the office you walk through this lot, across a street, up on the sidewalk through a little patch of grass, another smaller parking lot, another patch of grass, narrow parking lot, to sidewalk in front of the building.
So, I'm sitting in my car at lunchtime, just about to go in and I'm people watching. I see what looks to be someone falling down on the sidewalk a good distance away. I keep watching and no sign of anyone getting up or people coming to help.
So I grab my stuff and head through the parking lot. I get a glimpse of a man on the ground and it appears he's lying under a tree. I thought hmmm that's weird, maybe he's decided to catch some shade from the tree. there are cars in the lot after the sidewalk and I see a car close to him with the door open and a woman inside.
As I get to the edge of my parking lot, I realize there is a shoe on the sidewalk and this situation is not normal, so I start running. I can see him rocking from side to side and when I got up to him his elbow is bleeding and he's moaning. I asked him if he's ok and he doesn't answer just keeps rocking and moaning.
The lady in the car is on the phone, eating a banana. She won't even look in our direction as I'm calling out ma'am. I go up to her car and yell, "MA'AM ARE YOU CALLING FOR HELP?" she finally acknowledges me and says, "what?" I ask again and she shakes her head no. I'm thinking wth lady, you can't see this guy a few feet from your car obviously injured. So I go back over and ask him again if he's ok and what did he hurt. at this point he's still moaning, so I tell him do not move and I will be right back. Sprint to the office and get my supervisor.
When we get back outside to him he says to me can you call this guy from the veterans office (one of the offices in our building) so I do, this guy comes out, they obviously know each other. Supervisor tells me to head back in and they end up calling the ambulance. I don't know what happened after that. Supervisor came back in before the ambulance got there since he was safe with the VA man.
Woooooh! Never a dull moment I tell ya. And I'm seriously judging that lady in the car, hard. She was still on the phone when I went back inside.
I almost called 911, but this man had his personal belongings in a paper bag. But I worried if he had insurance and possible medical bills he might incur that he couldn't pay. Being that we are in the city, it wouldn't have been volunteer firemen/emts. How awful is that?
Whoah that's a novel. Sorry.
I know, I was so mad. Just awful. I hope this guy is ok.Hiya Dale

... I actually typed "lady" but changed it to woman, that was no lady! Hiya Dale
Wild Wing place
That place here is expensive for what little you get, not worth it IMO!
I just leave between 7:25 & 7:30. That puts me on the lot at about 3 minutes after 8...but with less headache of the traffic.I'm having the worst time figuring out how long I need to get to work when I want to be there. Looks like I have to leave between 7:15 and 7:20 to make a 8.6 mile trip
I personally think that's the dumbest thing because many times, there is not a solitary car coming from the left.
You DO NOT want to be behind him...he drives 45 in a 55 where most drive 60....big line forms behind him. A lot of our salesmen eat there quite often...I see the receipts when I pay their cc bills.
Oh good.I didn't figure you were
Looks like it
Once I start doing the paper work (if he ever trains me
He makes a lot of deliveries and I stay at the shop and handle pick-ups.

Couldn't like that.
That person in the car (don't even want to associate her with womankind) deserves to have the same happen to her someday...how can you not try to help someone by making just a simple call. How self centered can one be? ...But it's been a while so it'll be nice to have her.
I just leave between 7:25 & 7:30. That puts me on the lot at about 3 minutes after 8...but with less headache of the traffic.
No one cares, it's not essential that I'm there before or right at 8. The other gal in our office, the controller, gets there between 8:15 and 8:30, but she drives a little over an hour from Missouri.
If I leave at 7:30, the buses have already made their turns, and are off of my route. If I leave before then, I can get behind as many as 3 big buses, and 3 or 4 short buses. The short buses don't make stops/pick ups, but they can't turn right on red.
...that's just the buses. If I leave by 7:15, I get behind the geezer in the rust colored 89 Firebird.
A lot of our salesmen eat there quite often...I see the receipts when I pay their cc bills.
Oh good.
Yea, I talk big...but always end up lollygagging doing something or other.
Yea, dirt bags are everywhere.
Go back and close all the doors
Good evening FranEvening,lurkers
{{{hugs}}} for you!Hi Angel!Good evening lovely lurkers.
Wow Sara!
Afternoon wasn't too bad and went by pretty quick...not sure what tomorrow will bring as Fridays tend to vary wildly around there...could be nice and quiet and could be all hell breaking loose...that's why I never make plans for my day on Fridays...because it never goes as I expect.
Will be picking up Princess Angel after work tomorrow and heading to the bf's...so no rest for us this weekend.
Almost like not even having a weekend
Hugs welcome.
I figure you could use a fewThanks,dale
