So, last friday I drove to work in the Suzuki, but I had Jen pick me up from work in the PT Cruiser after work on the way to Super Salad, so we left the Suzuki at my work's parking lot.

This morning, Jen left early to go to her new job and asked me to take Maggie to puppy day care, as well as to pick her up since my new 9-5:30 schedule allows me to pick her up by 6. Well, I didn't realize until she had left that the Suzuki was still at work. At 8am, while I was out squeezing the dog, I noticed that our neighbor (who had agreed to watch Maggie during Akon) was outside, so I asked him if he could drive me to work, since it's pretty close as far as driving is concerned, but not as far as walking is concerned. He didn't mind, and drove me to the work.

At 8:07 I got back home with the Suzuki, brushed teeth, deodorized, packed a lunch, and put Maggie and myself in the Suzuki by 8:15.

Though stalled by two school zones, we got to puppy day care by 8:30. I took Maggie inside and went back to the Suzuki, where I heard a train in the distance. 30 minutes is plenty of time to get back to work, and realizing that I just barely made it through Oltorf before the train cut it off, I could take Ben White back to work. 30 minutes, however is not enough time to get gas and make it to work. I think I have enough to pick up the pup after work and get to a station, though.

Anyways, I get to work, even a bit early, and realize that my badge is in the arm rest of the PT Cruiser because I left work by that vehicle on Friday. I attempt to call Jen to verify that the badge is there, but her phone's turned off. So, I walk the long way to work's front gate, get a temp badge, and still arrive at my desk a minute or two before 9.
