Every day I wake up, take my children to daycare, and then head
for work. I am stuck behind hundreds of people who sit in there car,
with their heads so far up their anal orifices that they can't see daylight,
let alone the car in front of them. On cell phones, doing makeup,
whatever their pass time, they go 10 miles below the speed limit like they
have all the time in the world. Obviously only a select few of us
still have a job, or care to arrive to work on time. If you are lucky,
they won't try to run you off the road because you cut around them and
brought to their attention the fact that they are losers, and drive like
Grandma Moses. On good days, you will come across the winner who
drives in your blind spot until you attempt to get past them, then they
just try to make sure you will never make it into your lane so you can
exit on time. On slower days, you will just sit behind one semi while
you are blocked in on the other side by a mother with 4 children in a mini
van who has obviously never worked a day in her life because she is almost
as large as her vehicle. God forbid you make her angry, she would
probably hunt you down in your sleep and slit you from ear to ear!
If you make it safely to your exit ramp, you will most likely sit at a
stop light for another 10 minutes while the more important street traffic
gets the right away. I am not sure about everyone else, but by the
time I pull into my work parking lot, 15 miles and an hour later, I wonder
if the whole world is on crack and I am the only idiot who chooses not
to partake. I revel in the thought that I just paid 1.50 to endure
all the wonders of the Illinois tollway and make my way into the office
so I can listen to my wonderful boss toss me ignorant innuendoes about
how I must have slept in because I was not on time. DOES ANYONE HAVE
TO TAKE A DRIVER'S TEST ANYMORE, OR ARE THEY HANDED OUT LIKE CANDY TO BABIES
AT A POLITICAL RALLY! UGH!
