Reason to Stop (& Shop)
Here are the facts:
1. Chicago traffic is terrible. I remember feeling actually *intimidated* looking at the traffic report on the hotel room tv when I was here interviewing for the job that moved us here.
1b. Chicago traffic is worse on Fridays. (And whenever there's a Cubs game.)
2. I have an 8 am meeting tomorrow. With people whose names come with initials like M.D. and Ph.D. Also a little intimidating.
3. My normal train gets me to work by 8:15 am.
4. The earlier train is known as "The Sunriser." Because I'd have to hop on board before 6 am it's also known colloquially as "The Insane Train."
For this reason I am thinking of driving to work tomorrow. What do I hate more: waking up at 5 am or sitting in over an hour of traffic at night?
But here's lovely #5. Between work and home there's a big mall, as well as strip mall with The Container Store, Trader Joe's, and Loehman's. How about a half in traffic, interrupted by a lace shopping basket, and then another half hour in traffic?
I think the basket, with strap removed, might be nice in my workroom. (Nicole might have helped sell me on it.)
