Am I the Only One Exhausted Today

[businesslawyer]

I wonder what the overall effect on productivity in the State is today. I got home from MSG at 1:30 and was awakened by my wife having erroneously set an alarm for 6:00 (unless she was making a passive aggressive point on me being out that late). Thanks honey. I am working but the headache at 66 is much worse than it would have been 10 years ago.

I'm at a 4-hour holiday luncheon. Mind is stimulated. Lots of chatter. No headache.

 

[jojipoji]

Tired too.

 

[HooperScooper]

Tired today. I don't mind the game getting over after 11:30 but after a game like that I couldn't fall asleep. I was probably up until 2:00 am.

 

[thekollieman]

Tired as I can tolerate for a work day. I posted a thread about how people prefer to handle it when you can’t watch live, then stayed up to watch anyway lol. At least I’m off somewhat soon. Props to those who drove home last night!

 

[Chin Diesel]

On a scale of 1-10, I'm about a 6-7 today.

 

[TGW93]

Pretty tired. Drove in without a problem. Drove out with a jammed 34th street, jammed West Side Highway, jammed 95, tractor trailer on the Hutch, jammed 95 (again). It was like the greatest hits of NY traffic.

BL, there's no way the alarm going off was erroneous on her part.

That’s where the smart money is.

That I got home driving by myself (I met people at the game but they aren’t living in CT) without hitting anyone or anything was not a small accomplishment. Despite having only had one beer that I finished by 8:00.

Why was 95 jammed after midnight on a Tuesday night?

I rarely drive in, but thought the doubleheader would go really late and didn’t want to spend time waiting for the next train. I was parked on West 38th, but GPS took me through the east side to the FDR to the Deegan, Cross County and Parkway. I had no issues at all (other than staying awake).

That’s the sneaky danger of tired driving. I know the feeling all too well. Glad you made it home safe!

Why wouldn’t it be?

 

[Dutch Boyd]

Tired with a slight hangover. Falling asleep is always hard after a game like that, but waking up is much sweeter when it’s win. Big wins like that kinda feel like going to bed on Christmas Eve as a kid.

 

[HooperScooper]

I usually try to stay away from 95 in Fairfield County at all costs. But I would figure at that time of the day it would be fine. But I guess not. Note to self, never take that stretch of highway.

It’s probably my biggest item in the CON column when considering a move to long island (would frequently be driving back to CT for family visits). Ferries avoid that, but at a pretty steep cost if used regularly.

Thank goodness BYU pulled out the first game in regulation otherwise it would have been a real late night.

Not sure if they didn't need to stop the first game to fix the basket if could have caught an earlier train.

Got into Fairfield at 1:30

At 66 it’s time to switch to P/T or retire fully

No meetings morning after UConn games.

Spent the night in the city, but I'm still exhausted

Not working today

This was all over CT news last week. It’s real. And I live this nightmare daily.

The actual answer is never get on either the highway or parkway in Fairfield County, regardless of how short your trip is, without checking in with either Wavz or Google Maps

 

[RichZ]

I've noticed that over the past 6~8 months, my energy level and ability to stay awake late have both declined. (Might have something to do with my approaching 80th birthday.) Doctor says worrying about it isn't going to help, so I should just adjust my activity level and timing.
I liked it better when I had a doctor who would spend most of my visit discussing UConn hoops.

At least it’s a doctor. My dentist likes to talk hoops which is more difficult when your mouth is full of instruments.

Boston has the 5th worst traffic in the country and I can tell you with absolute certainty that driving home at that time on a weekday has never been an issue.

As someone who teaches in Greenwich but lives in Norwalk, that’s me twice a day, lol.

I have a similar level of tiredness to the national title wins. Happily drained, as if I’m on vacation and the jet lag is starting to kick in. It's another example where I'm imagining my wife in my ear saying maybe this is the summer we finally install an outdoor sauna. Sounds delightful right now.

I’m staying at school till eight since we have our holiday concert and my wife has the arts department. Nice day for multiple meditations in the car during prep periods.

Traffic is fine in Fairfield County if you pick the right time to drive. 1932, for example. Not many people had jobs or cars then.

I got home at 2:20, woke up at 630, and currently want to claw my eyes out of their sockets.

Having been able to watch the game in SoCal starting at 6 and ending at 9, I have no issues and have a bounce in my step today as a result of the well earned Husky victory! Western living does have some advantages!
