When All You Do Is Drive
Sometimes I work on the weekend.
And when I do, my schedule might look something like this:
Saturday...
7 am Leave Salem
Drive 23 miles
Pick up student
Drive 35 miles
Pick up student
Drive 29 miles
Participate in 4 hour meeting
Top off gas tank
Drive 231 miles
Stop in Pendleton for gas and dinner
Drive 185 miles
Drop off student
Drive 14 miles
10:46 pm
Check in at hotel
Realize that it is really 11:46 pm
I've crossed over into Mountain Standard Time
Further realization that Daylight Savings begins tonight
...it is now 12:46 am and I don't have any
proof of where the last 2 hours went
Sleep
Sunday...
Wake
Fill the gas tank
Drive 172 miles
Stop in Pendleton to stretch
Drive 192 miles
Pray that the car will make it to Troutdale on gas fumes
Drive 66 miles
Return vehicle to the Motor Pool lot
Arrive home after 36 hours and 949 miles
I like what I do
And that's a good thing.
