traffic makes me cranky
Apr. 5th, 2010 11:07 pmToday I drove for 2 hours to get to Stamford, normally 45 minutes away (very, very bad traffic),
sat for 3 hours on a wooden bench, fighting the urge to take a nap, had crappy food
from a filthy Chinese take-out for lunch (had skipped breakfast, and dining options
near the Stamford court are slim), to interpret for all of 2 minutes over a minor traffic violation,
and, then had to fight traffic for another two hours to get home (4hrs driving, 3 hrs sitting waiting, 2 mins of work),
only to find a mess left by our former roommate, who came in to remove some of her possessions that she's left behind.
Then, exhausted and cranky from fighting traffic, I decided to lay down for what I intended to be a 1 hour nap,
only to wake up 4 hours later, to find that my kid had not bathed, done her chores, or completed her homeword (with an hour left before her bedtime),
and with 1000 words remaining in a translation project due tomorrow morning.
So, I'm cranky.
