288 Traffic Sucks

So the magic departure time for somewhat happy traffic conditions is 6:00 a.m. It is unbelievable! 288 is just jam-packed with cars and the only way for me to avoid the chaos of stop and go traffic all the freaking way in to work is to leave at 6:00 a.m. thereby getting to work at 6:30. What can I do? It is for sanity’s sake. I left at 6:20 a.m. today and yesterday and the stop and go ridiculousness was unbearable. So I will settle for getting here super early and on the plus side that gives me 30 minutes of almost guaranteed downtime before talky-talky cubicle neighbor arrives ready to yap, yap, yap. I was so disappointed to find her here this morning when I arrived. I am soooo antisocial!
On a happy note, I was walking down the hallway to the restrooms this morning here in the office and there were only about three of us here. I hear the gentle tap tap of someone typing on their keyboard until I was jolted by several very loud repetitive angry taps of a single key as if to angrily punctuate his sentence. It was lovely! These are the sounds I love to hear. Made me laugh out loud.
