Back in 2008 was a thread on this subject, Missed my commute... . I remember it because it contained just about the funniest post I have read on Bike Forums:

2. At 7:00, I said screw it...I can still make it...i'll hit the toilet at the office.... then i noticed all the bike shorts were in the wash.....

ah well..it's cold outside anyways.... If I had left at 7:10 (10 min to get ready) I may have been caught off guard around the 7:15 mark by an unexpected bombing run...I hate when the body looses its 'regularity' I'm not a coffee drinker, so I can't use that either....

anyhow...this is something we all deal with...but rarely is spoken off...lol

Hopefully tomorrow all systems will be a go for a regular take off!!!!

By the time I'm done, the launch window has past. Commute aborted. Where are those damn car keys.

The worst case is when you just know the bomb bays are full, but you just can't [get] the doors to open. So you have to sit around the hangar and wait.
