wasted time
Feb. 26th, 2026 11:07 pmI was supposed to get together with my friend Doug last night. He was coming up here. I was working in the office, but I had more than enough time to get home and eat supper before he arrived. He messaged me at 6:10 saying he was done eating and I could come anytime. Shit. I was supposed to go there. So I jumped in the car and got there a little before 7.
My main problem was that if I'd realized, I would have just stayed downtown after work, had dinner, worked a little overtime, and still been to his place in plenty of time. But going home, and then back past the office to get to his place, I wasted nearly an hour in the car.
And then I still had work to do, that I would get done after he left, which would have been probably around 9:30. But I didn't leave his place until almost ten. And then got stuck in traffic because the freeway closed for nighttime construction. So I logged on to work at 11:00. Only did 40 minutes.
It was all very annoying. I was looking forward to meeting Doug because I needed a break. All that extra kinda canceled out a lot of that break. I worked almost 11 hours today, and then had to take care of some CoPA stuff.
So that's how my week is going.
