Is it usually while you're running around your house frantically clawing through piles of stuff while keeping one eye on  a clock seemingly ticking away the time at a breakneck pace while the chronological window  in which you have to leave your house and still get to work on time  (barring the teeniest bit of traffic) is closing like an ancient stone gate in an Indiana Jones movie?
