My Morning Commute from Heck
Sep. 27th, 2006 08:31 amAnd you thought your morning sucked...
There is nothing like leaving home at 6:10 AM with all intentions of getting to work early and leaving early. I was in a good mood, I had a great evening, well worn out from the gym and slept well, etc. Traveling at a good click on the highways, I was but two mere miles from my office when the sight above greeted me, a sea of brake lights in the dark early morn.
The accident involved a Corona beer truck, a Jeep, some sedan, and a dump truck. I could see the dump truck after getting out of my car. Yeah, I was that close, the accident happened probably 5 minutes before. So for the next hour or so, I was stretching my legs on the highway, chatting with other drivers who shut their cars off too, and reading whatever material was in my car. It makes for a long morning and a long day. Still, I'm grateful that no one was apparently injured.
... it still wrecked my morning ... grrr!
