I had a job where I was supposed to arrive at 8:00am. According to maps & normal traffic patterns, it should take me 25-30 minutes to get there from home.
If I left home at 7:30 it would usually take me 35 minutes and I would invariably arrive at 8:05am. Late.
No problem, leave earlier, right?
If I left at 7:25am it would take me 40 minutes and I would arrive at 8:05am.
If I left at 7:15am it would somehow take me 50 minutes and I would arrive 8:05am.
If I left at 7:00am …you guessed it, it would take me 65 minutes and I would arrive 8:05am.
It’s like I was destined to be there at 8:05am.
Eventually I negotiated with my boss to be there at 8:30am instead. I stared leaving my house at 7:45am and I’d usually get there by 8:15am. Early!
It was just the way the traffic worked out in my commute.
