    Exit the house at 6:32am, thinking there would be less traffic. Well, got all the red traffic lights I can get, and got a very slow car in front of me from home right to the office. :mad: By chance for him it wasn't a colleague. So checked in here at 6:49am. Without traffic the same trip takes about 10 minutes... Now ready for a small break.

    I won't tell you how long it took me to get to work each morning - you'd only get jealous! :laugh:

          It is more a shock to see how many people are around so early in the morning, now on holiday period. ;)

            Hot and bothered - he doesn't like the fan at all (I think the noise is uncomfortable for him) and he is suffering from the heat a little as a result. Still the good bit of that is it reduces the number of live animals he brings home... ;)

                  You've a problem driving 17 minutes? Really? Go ahead, post it[^]. I drive anywhere from 35 minutes to 90 minutes ONE WAY. And some people at work think that I'm lucky. :~

                      Well, on normal period, when schools are open, it can reach to 40 minutes, 1 hour easely.

                        So, instead of 10 minutes it took you 17 minutes and that's all it takes to get you furious?

                            1 hour for 7km? You could literally walk that fast (and make a massive saving using a bike).

                              It took you 17 minutes to drive into work when it normally takes 10?? You're bitching about 7 freakin' minutes?? And now you need a break?? It takes me 30-45 minutes, on a good day, or about an hour and a half on a really bad one. I only have to go 17 miles!
