My coworker swears by leaving at 6:40am to dodge the bridge traffic, and I finally tried it
She has been telling me for 8 months that if I leave my apartment in Jersey City by 6:40, the Holland Tunnel is basically empty. I laughed at her because who wants to wake up that early, so I kept leaving at 7:15 and sitting in 50 minutes of brake lights. Last Tuesday my alarm failed and I rolled out at 6:38, and I kid you not, I was at my desk in 22 minutes flat. Now I am the annoying person setting a 5:55am alarm and telling everyone in the break room about it. Does anyone else have a magic leave time that sounds insane but actually works?
