Caution: Work Ahead

It's 8:30 and I'm at work still with two stories, three book reviews and a wrap-up of the latest health studies to write before Thursday morning (all but the reviews due tomorrow).
It's going to be a long night. And a long day tomorrow.
But sometimes it feels good to work late. Especially when it's freezing and snowing outside and I forgot to bring my Russian rabbit-fur hat to work. (Well, I remembered as soon as I walked out the door, but I underestimated how much the temperature would drop and the winds would increase during the day). And we can use a car service if we leave the office after 9 p.m.
Now that's incentive to stay late. I'm only a 20-minute car ride from home--about 5-10 minutes faster than by subway--if there's little traffic and my driver doesn't make a wrong turn and end up in Long Island, which happened late one Friday night after I dozed off in the car (following a 14-hour work day). That night it took 45 minutes and a map consultation to get home. Hey, I'm no driving expert--especially in Queens (which we usually cut through to get back to Brooklyn). I usually take the subways. But tonight I think I might consult Mapquest before I take the car. Just in case. I don't want to waste time getting home tonight--especially since I'll be back here in about 13 hours. And my stories are due in 21 hours. Yikes. Almost makes me wish I'd just brought an overnight bag and a change of clothes to the office today.
Think I'd better get back to work.
