Nope, traffic isn't bad at that time. I'm only about 10-15 min away from home anyway, so I don't have a long drive, which is nice.
I've had these assignments for a week longer than the promised return day... have to get them done tonight no matter what. Nothing feels as good and virtuous as getting a thick stack of grading done, does it!
Oh, I know exactly what you mean... also, my middle school has decided to send home biweekly progress reports, which I have to hand out tomorrow - so I had to get caught up this weekend.

OK, that's a plus---my home is only about that far from campus also(especially at that time), but I gotta go on the highway, which is always a bit of an experience... after almost 20 years in Columbus, still am not used to Ohio drivers. Hard to describe their style...

My wife has to travel the highway to get to her job. She's about 20-30 min. away and out of the 5 days, she tells me that there are at least 2 times through out the week, when she sees a few close calls or has a few herself, due to the wonderful drivers that we have in CT.

Dis-jointed spazoids. Kind of like a cat on crack.
Bit by bit, the amount of paperwork teachers have to generate to communicate with parents has grown, um, explosively over the past couple of decades... when I was in grade school, some time just after the end of the last ice age, my parents got exactly two pieces of written communication from my school per year: the mid-year report card and the final report card. Now I get approximately a stack around a quarter of an inch thick from my 9-year-old's teachers, plus half a dozen progress reports (aka report cards!) plus newsletters plus school bulletins... too much information!
Well, you're in New England, which has its own class of bizarre driving... from what I've seen, it's very aggressive (although this may be generalizing too much from Massachussetts)... in Ohio, it's just... um, strange. They don't take off promptly at green lights, so to make up for it, they run red lights... it's like being around a person who's a bit unbalanced in a way you've never encountered before. A whole bunch of loose cannons in great big cars/SUVs/vans, playing unintentional bumper cars all over the highway system.
Yes, exactly... a cat which wasn't all that coordinated to begin with. The kind who make slow right-hand lane changes across three lanes of traffic when they suddenly realize that their exit is about an eighth of a mile away (this has happened to me, and no, no one (miraculously) was killed...)
