10/12 Getting Off Work

Talk about getting off work.

I normally get off work around six or seven. There are times when I get off late. I have to work after-hours from time to time. It commonly appends especially at the end of every month when we're wrapping things up for the month. Traffic gets pretty bad when I get off work. It can take forever when I get stuck in traffic, so I normally take the subway to avoid rush hour traffic. We do have staff dinners off and on. Staff dinners end late at night at times. The subway or the bus stops running. In that case, I have no choice but to cab it home.

* cab it home: 택시로 귀가하다

@ Speaking Tips: stop running (차가)끊기다

대중교통 운행이 끊긴다는 말을 영어로는 stop running이라고 한다. run 동사 자체가 '운행하다'라는 의미로 사용된다.

@ I left my car at home today.  나 오늘 집에 차 두고 왔어.
