Damn I Gotta Be Up Early Tomorrow
This will never happen again. I have worked seperate cases on next door neighbors before. I have even worked cases within a mile of my house in Philly and back here in the Lou. But, my case tomorrow is right up the street. I get to sleep in. Yay.
Now off to hockey. Yay.

Yay for you!!!
Good luck with hockey tonight!
I'm jealous. I have a half hour commute tomorrow....if traffic behaves. (place your bets)
Callie, as I suspected, pick up hockey equals 3 goals. Now if I could just do it in a league.
ltlme, I doen't like to wager money on things I cannot witness but, hmmm, Baltimore+Rush hour traffic=Horrible commute.
amen
Larry,
Who is it? How far up the street? Past the dead end? Hey I wonder, is that still a dead end? I mean all those houses going in. Is it around the bend or before?

You'll do it in the league on your next game. No worries.
so whaddya do? get in the van and drive two blocks to sit there and spy from the window?
you could take a scooter there! or a pogo stick.
Wow, easy comute. It takes an hour or more sometimes to get to work.Too bad you just can't get bug in the place and sleep all you want.
I'm gonna have to go to a hockey game someday. As a kid if two side faced off with sticks it wasn't to win a trophy.
Dougie: I wish I could tell you who used to live there. If you call me tomorrow I will tell you, I just can't publish it.
Jen: To quote ltlme, "Amen."
Callie: I hope so.
Pammy: Are your bags packed?
Jazz: Less than a block actually, but, I will have to gas up the van in the morning so I may have to drive a whole 3 miles.
lowk: I feel your pain I have to deal with it sometimes and after living in the northeast I don't envy anyone's traffic situation. As for going to a hockey game, if you do, it is definitely easier to watch in person than on TV.
I'm with Shagwell on hockey: I can never see the puck, need slower games the blinder I get (couldn't see the puck in high school either though).
And my commute is hour+15 minutes, but most of it is on a train, which isn't so bad.
So does the PI ID get you off when the cops bust you for hiding in the bushes? I gotta get one of those...
Kal, the PI ID doesn't do much good when the cop wants to be a dick. But for the most part they are really cool about it.
I slept in this morning... although I don't think I was able to sleep in enough lol
It usually takes me anywhere from 30 minutes to 1 hour to get to work... depends on the traffic.
I'm used to my now-lengthy commute. It's about 90 minutes door-to-door. That's one way, kids.
"back here in the Lou?" You know that the English use "the loo" to mean "the toilet," right?
Dani: If you are waking up to an alarm it really isn't sleeping in. Tomorrow's commute 45 min+.
Mossy: Those are the days I dread. The longer the commute the earlier I have to get up.
Digi: Yeah, and I would transport dead bodies in the "boot" and work out of a "lourie". But, that is the best part of being in America. We get to butcher the language any way we want.
I just use hip hop terms to prove that I cannot get away with it. I think you just proved my point for me.
Married: Yes. Sally(Your working name is Star). The corner of 5th and Broadway. During business hours, unless they pay extra, at home you coud go either way.
Don't lie. You charge extra when you're workin and you know it.
Now, so does everyone else. You're not as giving as you let on.
No, no, no... For traffic, and I mean really good traffic, the kind that makes you want to blow your head off with a shotgun (and I think someone's actually done that), you need to try driving to DC from Frederick, MD, on a rainy Tuesday morning, at around 8am. That's traffic!
You lucky bastard... Not that you're a bastard, it's just a manner of speaking. :p
Lost: I never feel rested unless there is no alarm involved and that doesn't happen very often anymore.
Married: You are one sick f*ck. My dog has been dead for 9 years.
LB: I hate just the DC traffic. Adding more drive time and distance to that is definitely a some form of torture.
oh geeze... well I *was* eating my dinner...
If you want truly horrible horrible traffic, try the 401 or Don Valley Parkway (aka the Death Valley Parking Lot) on a weekday morning, anytime between 6:30 and 9.
I agree... don't feel rested unless there is no alarm. Or if I can hit the snooze button a million times. I could sleep all day if I didn't have an alarm.
As for traffic. Well Edmonton is known for the worst drivers in North America.
Married: Into Necrobeastiality? I never would have guessed. *dripping sarcasm*
P-Shag: Sorry to ruin your dinner, but, I thought you would have learned by now to finish eating before you got online.
Dani: The snooze thing just makes me more tired. and as for the drivers, it is Canada. :P
If I can only hit it a couple times then it makes me more tired... but if I can hit it for an hour then I'm good. :)
For me it doesn't matter how many times I hit it I am still tired.
Oh when did you guys pass Edmonton? Last report was we were the worst in North America... but I think that report was from last year.
Ah we aren't the dumbest. We are just the worst. lol
Exactly...it takes real smarts to be careless with any consistency, right, Dani?
Yup :D
Try this: SE Expressway = 9 miles from "the split" to the Central Artery. Those nine miles can take 40 minutes easy. Sometimes 50 minutes to an hour. And the worst part is you can frickin' see the office building in which you work for the whole trip, sitting there, taunting you.
Although I did once do the whole 33 miles door-to-door in 23 minutes (and that includes back roads in Pleasantville).
(It was, of course, at 2am)
