Drank a cup o' reality at 4:48 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 28, 2004
Living in the suburbs sucks. Here's why: today I sat... No, really, it might be more discriptive to say that my car stood (because it was not a restful moment)... in traffic for 30 minutes. 30 minutes during which I am usually driving at a highly accelerated speed towards my school. There was a complete stand-still.
Now, I don't know about the other fools who were sitting there with me, where they were going, what kind of a time line they were on, what AM traffic news they were haring, or for that matter how awake they were- if they had had their coffee yet or not. But, I can assure you that I had not had my coffee and without it I am a pissy sleepy mess in a rush to get to work.
Finally I made it off the interstate, swearing revenge upon said transportation route, and backtracked around in circles arriving at work 5 minutes before students arrived in my room. Yes, friends, that was nearly 30 minutes late for work!!
This did not make for a happy Miss Spunky... nor did it make for a productive Miss Spunky. Today was a loss.
Damn I-694!!! Revenge will be mine!!
Tonight's project: determine a new non-interstate route to work.
I am so looking for housing next year that is not in the suburbs.
