i can never leave work early...

[acroyear]

for the second time in a month, and effectively in a row, i have tried to leave early due to weather or having to be home for something and found my momentum, energy, and patience totally sapped away into nothingness because i have had to sit in a backup on 28 northbound at frying pan rd for an accident taking out 2 lanes.

i'm home, and all the get up and go i had going into my car got up and went and now i simply don't want to do a damn thing, much less the 3 hours of work i'm still supposed to do today.

all because people can't drive for shit.

I know which day you travelled now.... It wasn't *just* the Balt. beltway/I-95 problem. On *top* of that, there was an accident northbound on rt. 29 here in Ellicott City, same day, almost the same time... took almost as long to clean up apparently. (I was nice and called in to WTOP that there were still backups on 29 and 100 when he suggested it as an alternative... there were.. for about 20-30 minutes after I phoned in, and they were almost finished the clean-up then)

Of course, my problem with thinking about sneaking out the few minutes I can get away with is that *something* always seems to manage to come up to distract me and keep me there (it's not always bad stuff, it just "happens" though).
