I had expectations for today, and only a very few actually came to pass.
- Going to get up and into work early. – Got up almost late, to work at normal start time.
- Going to get some hanging projects done – First thing into work am told that phones are not working, about a 1-hour diversion. They were out for 1-1/2 days. Totally unacceptable. The service provider is being slightly helpful in trying to find a solution.
- Going to leave work early to spend time with the kids. – Left right on time, which really means early.
- Going to drive home on I-90, as usual – Checked traffic and chanced travelling on 520, shorter, but usually much more congested. Went OK.
- Going to finish up the paperwork Carl needs to work on a 401(k) – This one was done, as planned more or less.
- Going to go to bed early, so we can try getting up early tomorrow – It’s 11:11 now, not sure this is “early”

I’m confused. Here in STL it’s 7:58 a.m. CST on January 29th, yet you’re telling me about a day that went until 11:11 p.m., dated January 29th. How’d you get ahead of me?

The magic of the internet. I have a hyperspeed connection to tje Greenwich Mean Time switch, so I can pretend it is anytime within a 24 hour period. Well, I remember reading once what time the WordPress people use, but it makes posting times interesting to say the least.
And I forgot one of my differences. – Since I left on time yesterday I got to experience the District parking lot rush hour. I so rarely get out “right-on-time” that I really forget. I always think of leaving as a leisurely drive through the parking lot, waiting for the gate to close, and then waiting for the light to change. Even in WA, where it is illegal to drive with a cell phone (not hands free anyway), I have time to call home and tell them I am leaving before I really get on the road. (Right-on-time means the gate still has 15 minutes before it closes, to let any late customers get out too.)

Remember, in these contexts “early” is a theoretical concept.
