I worked for the State of Maryland at the District Court Warehouse in Annapolis. Living in Charles County I would leave at 6 we would start at 8 but becuase of traffic I needed to leave at 6 but I walk in the Mornings so I was out walking at 3:30am. Going to work was 50 mins and not too bad but coming home was a nightmare. We left at 4:30pm and not a min before. With no tie up or accidents it was an hour and a half. Our Warehouse was close to rt 50 and on Fridays and holiday weeks it was horrible, many a time it was a 2 1/2 hour ride home. I was amazes at how much work the State did and you multiply that to run a Country it's unreal and for anyone to think Federal employees don't work shows just how ignorant they are.
