Every day when I’m leaving the office to go pick up my spousal
unit, I text her to let her know that I’m on the way. Since the traffic between my office and hers
is terrible in both directions at that time of day, I ask her to turn on the HOV,
so we can get the discounted rate and zoom past the worst of the traffic. It takes some time for it to kick in, so I have
to get her to turn it on early to use it.
