My Thought for Today

Good morning all and Happy Friday. You know its funny, I was talking with co-workers today and it seems like we all work just to get to Friday. Why is that or why does it seem like that? We get up just like every other work day, get dressed, have our morning drink whether it be coffee, juice or whatever and then head to work. But since its Friday we are happy and good to go. Like I said we dont work to get to the weekend or because its the job; we basically work to get to Friday. I was just thinking about it, it seems real funny how that works out. 

I have another question/thought. So I got up at my normal time and left a little earlier (5-10mins) to make sure I make it to work on time since it is Friday. BUT when I got on the freeway it was empty! Why was that I thought. Every other day of the week its packed at 530am and even a little earlier. Mondays are just a tad lighter but still packed. So your thinking ok its Friday, maybe people are taking the day off or something like that. Well when I say empty I mean there were only a handful of cars on it. I did not have to slow down going from the 110 to the 405. Which never happens at all. In fact when I merged onto the 405 there were no cars there at all. So why all this you ask? Well I am wondering because even though its very empty in the mornings, going home is the most crowded of any day of the week?? How in the heck does that happen? Where do all the cars come from? I mean they can't be going home because there was no one going to work! The going home traffic on Fridays starts around noon and continues to sometime after 9pm. So if no one is going to work on Friday then how are all these people supposedly going home? If they are leaving town then why don't they start out earlier so they don't make the traffic extra slow like it always is at the end of the week? 

Just some questions/thoughts I had. Sometimes I tell ya, the traffic patterns here in Los Angeles do not make any sense at all. Most of the times its faster to take the surface roads and that's even if you get behind old people that are afraid to drive and should not be (that is a thought for another time). 

Hope you have a wonderful weekend. Its going to be hot in the SW so keep cool and stay safe. 

God Bless
