Deal With the Traffic Jam Blues

Stuck on 281 North everyday?  Tired of the 410 smogathon?  Then you need to adjust some way, some how to these time killers.  One way is to leave work later or earlier.  Ask your management if you can arrive to work earlier so you can leave before the rush.  A similar alternative is to log more hours so that you can leave later while still being productive.  If neither of these is amenable to your job, try taking an audio book cd so that you can make more constructive use of your idle time.
