Friday is halloween. And the little ghouls and goblins prnacing around with sacks and costumes won't be the only scary thing...
Halloween is the WORST traffic day in Atlanta all year...
And this year it is a double down bonus. Fridays are usually the worst drive home traffic of the week... and Halloween is on a Friday. Expect and plan for terrible traffic.
Even getting out of work early doesn't really help... in fact, if you aren't going to be parading kids around for Halloween, staying at work a little late might be a good strategy. The traffic comes early on Fridays AND Halloween. Expect to see it get ugly by 4:00 Friday afternoon.
Talk to the boss. It would be a great day to telecommute... or take a personal day.
Don't say you haven't been warned...
Lane - Those who know me it's no secret that driving isn't exactly my favorite thing to do. If I was in the area, I would surely heed your advice. You couldn't drag me out of the house!
Jason - I love to drive. I don't like to sit in traffic when there is someplace to be. Our family puts together a plan for Halloween.
Lane....OMG....you are so right! I'll be at the office till 5ish, so I may miss some of the treaters out at the house. Of course, in a condo building you don't get them at all, so I always try to go to my house for Halloween!
If I can get there!
Thom - We still need to do lunch... But not on Friday. And by 5:00... it's too late. You'll be dooooomed... doooooooooommmmed I say.
;^ )
Hi Lane -- thanks for the reminder. I have an action-packed day on Friday, so I'm sure I'll be sitting in the 285 parking lot!
Kerry - Start and finish early...
