As I was reading, I was trying to guess how you did you own thing at your desk at work and weren't tempted into work type tasks, and then you surprised me with the stopping halfway at a Starbucks angle--how great is that! Such a creative positive solution--and releasing yourself from the commute ugliness at the same time: inspired genius, I say! That is an awesome solution!!

Here's how I did it: car traffic was bad from my house to about halfway to my workplace. I had a choice of sitting in traffic, fretting and arriving at work in knots....or finding a better way. The better way I found was to leave my house very early - 6 a.m.- which was the time I could be guaranteed to beat traffic - and then stop at a Starbucks which is at the halfway point to work. There I sit with a good book or my laptop and have some happy quiet time. When I get to work I'm relaxed and I've already had some fun! Works for me.
