Narrative:

I taxied my aircraft from the ramp area onto taxiway, crossed 2 txwys and a runway when I suddenly realized that I had not contacted ground control to obtain proper clearance. Furthermore, the runway was active at the time. No incident or occurrence happened because of this. I was not asked to call the tower, but did so myself. The only contributing factors to this were that my head was not concentrating on the work to be done. I was upset with my boss and was consumed with thoughts of quitting instead of taxiing. I basically was taxiing like I was driving my car -- I stopped at the intxns, looked both ways, and proceeded. All I can say is my head was not in it. I don't believe fatigue had anything to do with this and definitely not illness or medication. Nope, strictly pilot error, pilot not thinking, not paying attention.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: C402 PLT TAXIES WITHOUT REQUESTING CLRNC AND CROSSES THE ACTIVE RWY.

Narrative: I TAXIED MY ACFT FROM THE RAMP AREA ONTO TXWY, CROSSED 2 TXWYS AND A RWY WHEN I SUDDENLY REALIZED THAT I HAD NOT CONTACTED GND CTL TO OBTAIN PROPER CLRNC. FURTHERMORE, THE RWY WAS ACTIVE AT THE TIME. NO INCIDENT OR OCCURRENCE HAPPENED BECAUSE OF THIS. I WAS NOT ASKED TO CALL THE TWR, BUT DID SO MYSELF. THE ONLY CONTRIBUTING FACTORS TO THIS WERE THAT MY HEAD WAS NOT CONCENTRATING ON THE WORK TO BE DONE. I WAS UPSET WITH MY BOSS AND WAS CONSUMED WITH THOUGHTS OF QUITTING INSTEAD OF TAXIING. I BASICALLY WAS TAXIING LIKE I WAS DRIVING MY CAR -- I STOPPED AT THE INTXNS, LOOKED BOTH WAYS, AND PROCEEDED. ALL I CAN SAY IS MY HEAD WAS NOT IN IT. I DON'T BELIEVE FATIGUE HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH THIS AND DEFINITELY NOT ILLNESS OR MEDICATION. NOPE, STRICTLY PLT ERROR, PLT NOT THINKING, NOT PAYING ATTN.
