was it a time warp?

This morning I had to hand off some work materials to one of my employees who lives 90 miles away. Also needed to stop at my bank so I know it was after 8AM when I left home. Drove to the guy's house and dropped off the materials and took a different route on the return since part of the road I'd used to get to his house was terrible. I stopped for gas at the first bigger town on the return and noticed they had chicken tenders and tater wedges cooking for their grab and go lunch area. Looked and smelled good and it seemed like it had been a long time since breakfast so I bought a 3&3 pack and pulled into the public parking lot at the edge of town to eat. Took my time, watched the traffic, listened to the weather forecast, and when I was finished, I looked at the clock in the dash. That can't be right so looked at my phone. Two for two said it was only 10:45 although it seemed it should be nearly noon.
Could be because at 11PM last night I was outside on a ladder with a flashlight cleaning out the rain gutters(does anyone think about cleaning gutters BEFORE it's raining hard?) followed by Grouch Attack waking me @4AM while making her "going to work" cup of coffee.
 
It don't rain much here in Texas but when we are going to get flooding rains I check the gutters often. We're in one of those periods right now. Flash flooding is predicted until next weekend.
Be safe on your ladder especially in the dark.
 
Mobuck,

My time warp almost always works in the opposite direction from what you just described. I stop at Walmart after work to get just a couple of things on my wife’s list and her Daddy’s list and my Momma’s list. I then truck it home between 30 minutes to 90 minutes depending on where I am working. Then the unloading and delivery phase begins. When I get home around 6pm after leaving work between 3 and 4pm my wife can’t understand what took me so long. :roll:
I don’t mind getting all the stuff but stores are slow, traffic is an issue and older folks living alone want someone to talk to for at least a few precious minutes. I have gotten to the point I don’t bother to answer her beyond “I got held up a little.”.

Maybe somewhere there was a message in this time blip cause @ 5 PM I was notified that I have 239 new assignments to spread amongst my employees. Taking into consideration employee preferences, target operation type, and other aspects, it takes a minimum of 1 minute per assignment. There went the 2 hours I gained in the morning.

Let me see 1 minute x 239/60=3.983333 hours. Good luck Mobuck!

No gutter cleaning today but I cleared 4foot of snow off my truck. Then I got the snowblower going to clean everything up - I wasn't sweating much at +9F today but I guess I'm ready for the next snow dump coming Wednesday. Merry Christmas Happy Holidays etc

At least you get a white Christmas. Happens about every 10 years or so around here.
