My Morning Rant... err commute
This mornings commute was probably one of the worst this year... Keep in mind I'm only 13 miles from work... and it took me 45 minutes
Normally I pull out my garage, turn out of the complex I live at, turn left, roads clear, smooth sailing into work. Not this morning.... My road is backed up for like 2 miles.. for no apparent reason.. What are people doing.. ???? As my clutch cusses me for the next couple miles I finally reach the intersection looking for a reason for this cluster
of cars this morn. Nothing..
Now.. on the phase 2 of the morning, finally the road opens up so I can see daylight and hit the hole like a pro running back and get some time caught up, then ... the devil himself cloaked in a red wasp decides to fly in my car at Mach 3 onto my arm and sting me with what had to be the biggest stinger on the face of the planet... For those of you who have not encountered red wasps, they are the meanest insects ever. They don't just sting.. they attack and get their jollies off of stinging you as fast and as much as possible. But I digress.... while I was driving I felt a pain that seemed to be a javelin shoved straight through wrist and a gallon of poison dumped into my wrist.
Driving ceased to exist at this point while I battled to get the devil off of my arm, he lands in my passenger seat in a daze... I watch to make sure he's not gonna dive bomb me again and grab a cd jewel case and repeatedly smash him, keep in mind all while driving through the traffic that never stops to keep getting more clustered to closer I get to downtown. With his stinger now detatched from his body I let him suffer in my seat while I continue my commute.
phase 3... Johnny Law decides to be capt hero and pull over a yellow escort, which should be pulled over anyway for just being what it is, in the middle of the road in morning rush hour downtown traffic. This just happens to be the lane I have to be in because I need to turn left... brakes, clutch, sit.... watch traffic basically come to a standstill behind in a row of cars that disappers in the horizon as we all try to merge right in what basically is a herd of cars trying to reach the same destination we are, work. What is this cop really thinking.... yea.. I'll just stop right here and turn my blue lights on, what a great focking idea to cause massive congestion.
the smller of th phases, phase 4.... I begin to pull in my parking garage and this woman is backing out of a spot right next to the exit of the garage, well I proceed to pull in and she basically backs up and blocks the entrance along with the exit and just stops. I'm sitting there like hello, did the hamsters in your head die and you forgot to put the car in drive. She stares at me like I'm suppose to find another entrance into the garage. I guess her memory delay caught up and she finally put the car in drive and moved out of the way but not before taking a mental picture.. and the time it took her she must have been making billboard sized mental images.
