I've been going to my bosses house every day to check on things while they are on vacation and, I have to say, it's been a stressful nightmare.  Nothing to do with actually checking the house, though.  It's been a traffic nightmare.  Between the issues I'm having with my car, West Side work-week traffic, construction delays and school run traffic, I've started to shudder and get on edge every time I get in my car.

This morning I left the house just after 6am purely so I could avoid the jams around all the schools between my place and theirs and then again between their home and work.  I ended-up getting to work two hours early. I'm still expected to be there until 5pm, so it's not like I can leave early. It also sucked that when I got into my car to go home that I had to sit in San Vicente traffic.

I even hit traffic congestion over the weekend!!! While it took me about 90 seconds to go, what took me 40 minutes during the week last week, I still hit road closures in Westwood and then got turned around (lost) around the little streets surrounding UCLA.  It took me an hour and a half to get home. This was before 9am on Saturday!!!!

I'm exhausted and stressed out.
