what would you do?

Lately I've been staying at work until at least 8pm to avoid the horrendous traffic in LA. I don't get paid overtime and it is my decision to stay late anyways, but I feel like I waste so much time just sitting around when I could be at home doing something much more entertaining.


So what would you do if you were in my shoes?

Sit around the office surfing the interweb until 7-8pm. By this time, it only takes me 20 mins to drive home.
Or leave work at 6pm and drive in traffic for at least 1 hour?

wait it out.

traffic makes to road rage.

edit: go shopping. that is what i would do.

I would take the hour drive. But I've never been in (but heard a lot about) LA traffic, and in that case I'd stay safe in the office.

Work my hours?

12am leave South OC
Work in LA 1am-1pm
2pm back in South OC

Do the things you would have done at home anyways, eat, nef, surf net, whatever.

Talk to your supervisor if you can shift you start hours to compensate, or go to a 4/10 shift.

work the extra hour or two. I hate sitting in traffic. Plus the extra work means a bigger bonus right?

If you don't feel like working you could always join a gym really close to work and go there right after work.
or maybe do different activities every day that are close to work like: laundry, food shopping, and dance/cooking classes.

Big cities should come up with a new job system that allows for better use of the roads. Where as most of the country is on a "first shift" 8am to 5pm, with some jobs following it with a 2nd shift, and in rare circumstances a 3rd shift.

So instead we'd have first shift broken up into 4 different sub shifts.

- 7am to 4pm
- 7:45am to 4:45pm
- 8:30am to 5:30pm
- 9:15am to 6:15pm

The city would work with all of the biggest employers to try and implement these shifts on a per company basis...
