Drag my out of bed at 6am. Blergh. The only thing that keeps me from being a homicidal maniac at 6am is my cute dog wagging his tail because he knows it's time for breakfast. Out the door a by a little after 7ish. Get to work around 8. I take public transportation so at least I get to read or do a crossword puzzle. By DC standards, my commute isn't bad, but that isn't saying much. I know some people who have a 1.5 - 2 hour commute each way. If I had to drive to work in DC traffic, I'd be in a padded cell somewhere.
