Schedule

I can’t figure out my schedule. I used to be an early to work person but that was back when I worked at places where others came in later, giving me a good chunk of quiet time in the morning. Here, I have coworkers who come in before even 7 am. But on the flip side, if I come in late, I seem to hit the worse traffic and the commute is just way too long. However, I do get a chunk of quiet time after about 5 or so.

Well yesterday, I came in early and was on such a roll that I ended up staying late. Another reason in the Cons for coming in early. So I found myself running late to an evening meeting back home. I rush out and once outside realize I left my jacket upstairs - yes, it is that time of year again. So back upstairs I run.

Make it to the subway where I keep working, sketching out another brilliant idea I have for work - yes, I’m just full of brilliant ideas, usually as I’m about to drift off to sleep or in the shower! This time I had paper and was working on the outline. Only to look up and realize I missed my subway stop. I get off at the next stop and wait for the train to come from the other direction. Luckily I don’t have to wait too long, even though it was fairly late. Grab a seat and keep working, only to have missed the stop again! For some reason I keep overshooting the subway stop I need to get home at the late hour. I’ve done it before on the bus, but never on the subway. Needless to say, I was a little late for my meeting, but have a nicely outlined master plan. Meeting went well, then home for a quick bite of food and to bed. Not the best schedule for the day. I’m back to coming into work later in the morning and dealing with the long commute.
