Yesterday, I was running so late. Mom was in town and she had successfully distracted me with freshly brewed coffee, cereal and lots of hugging.
Even though I believe in the power of the 42 to decrease my commute by half (on a good day, no rain or snow, and provided the driver is not completely apathetic), there was no way I was making it on time. So I opted for the cab. Two zones, a gas price hike and a rush hour surcharge later, I was there. In New York, I bet that trip would cost maybe five or six bucks. In DC, try $10.80, a nice even $12 with tip. Jesus. Even a Cosi salad would not set me back quite that much. Good thing I got a delicious free lunch at work yesterday. I might have starved otherwise. Lesson of the day, being late in DC is expensive. Time is money, people. Time is money.
