What I have done so far today:
- Got up early because I was scheduled to go to a meeting at a branch that is about a forty-five minute drive from my house
- Left the house at 8 o'clock for a meeting scheduled from 9 to 11
- Got stuck in traffic at about 8:30 because of an accident somewhere up the road
- Sat in completely still traffic for a long time
- Texted my manager about 8:50 to tell her that I was going to be late to the meeting because of traffic and ask her if she could let people know
- Also texted my mom to complain and emailed my sister because hell, I wasn't moving, I may as well entertain myself
- Listened to a major portion of the Hamilton soundtrack
- Eventually got annoyed enough to switch to Assassins
- Decided, about 9:30, that if I hadn't gotten to my destination by 10, I got to turn around and go home
- About 9:35, realized that I was in the left hand lane and literally trapped by unmoving cars
- At 9:50, the car in the right hand lane next to me made a break for the nearest exit and I was able to slip through, do the same, and escape, while saying grateful prayers to a variety of deities
- Sat in a parking lot to text my manager that, sorry, I was not able to attend the meeting after all
- Drove home
I am done with today and I haven't even managed to get to work yet.
ETA - And now I've learned that I work with a group of people to whom I can say, "I never could get the hang of Thursdays" without them having any idea that I'm quoting something. I am despondent.
