What time do you start your day?
I normally don't drive in rush hour traffic. Due to my schedule I usually miss it. This morning was an exception as I had a 9am doctor's appointment. I was amazed that the interstate was at a standstill at 8:45 still, which got me thinking where are all these people going? Do that many people go in to work as late as 9? So I'm curious what time do you usually have to be at work?
Re: What time do you start your day?
There have been plenty of mornings when I've driven from Lawton to Stillwater in the same morning...and when I do that, I leave Lawton no later than 5:40 to beat rush hour traffic through OKC. I'm usually pulling right into Stillwater at 8:00 if I leave at 5:40...if I leave at or before 5:30, the traffic is way better, so I get into town a little earlier.
When I'm in Stillwater though...traffic is nothing compared to what you OKC girls put up with. I can leave my place at 7:40, drop JJ off at daycare and still be at work before 8.
I am at work by 7. I live close to the office though, so if I'm dropping off Connor on the way I leave home by 6:40, if not, 6:45.
Most of my commute is on a side street, with about 2 miles on 240 if I have to stop by daycare though.
On the 2 days I work, I try to get there between 7:00-8:00.
On my days home, I usually get up a little before Cooper does (which is usually 8:30-9)
I usually get up at 5:45, leave around 5:45 or so and get to work around 7-7:10, depending on how many lights I hit on NW Expressway. If I leave much later than that, I can barely get out of my neighborhood because there's a middle school right there.
We are supposed to be here by 7:30.
What time I go to work depends on when I wake up. If I wake up at 4am, I am at work by 5am. If I wake up at 8am, I am at work by 9 or 9:30.
I agree with Snowful, though - what the heck is up with traffic? It has been so awful ever since school started - gag.
I have to be in Ada at 7:00, but I have an 1.5 hour commute so I leave at 5:30. I don't hit any traffic of course.
I get up around 6 when M wakes up to nurse. She goes back to sleep until 7 or 7:30 and V has been getting up between 7:30 and 8 (thank goodness he is done with the 6am business!) but I am usually up at 6 even though I am laying in bed
On the day each week that I work, I usually get there around 9:15 or 9:30
I am curious. What do you do?
