Avoiding rush hour with my planning
Rush hour traffic scares me so bad. I hate the bumper to bumper traffic and people trying to merge into my lane. I get all sweaty, anxious and scared. I spent the whole time worried I was going to get into an accident. So I avoid rush hour whenever I can. My place of work ends at 3. If I leave right out the door, I can beat rush hour. I can’t dawdle, use the bathroom or chat with my boss before I leave work. I need to run to my car and hurry home. By the time I am near my house, rush hour is starting. What stinks is that sometimes I need to run errands. I don’t have time to do them before work. That means I need to do them after work. Since everything I need is close to the office, it seems silly to wait for the weekend. I also don’t want to run errands every weekend. On days I have errands, I make them take awhile. After work I chat with people forever. I then take my time at the grocery store, bank and cannabis dispensary. I need to take hours and then I can start driving home at the tail end of rush hour. Most days I just hurry home and figure I will deliver stuff. It is worth paying a fee to have groceries, weed delivery and my prescriptions sent to me. It is more time effective with this method. I also would pay anything not to sit in my car or linger in a store for hours.
