carbon monoxide morning

this morning's commute sucked!

i was happy that i didn't have to go on route 78 because there was a 30 mile ( i kid you not) backup...

heard early on there was a jackknifed tractor trailer at the very exit on route 80 west that i get off...

so i got gas, went to the bank and i was off and running...

communipaw ave - the first leg of the morning jaunt - it took me 45 minutes to go 0.5 miles.

why? because the effing plows made a 3 lane main thoroughfair into a 1 lane horse drawn carriage lane. and it all happened in an intersection.

okay - through that. good. i am on the turnpike now. all is going well... 55 mph...

listened to the traffic reports - they said route 80 was clear - the trailer was removed and traffic was fine.

i get to the toll booth, go through, it's slightly heavy... no big deal...

traffic report still saying the coast was clear - okay what the hell, i'll go route 80 instead of my alternate route on 46...

as soon as i merged left onto the no-turning-back-now-you're-screwed stretch of 95 before hitting 80, the traffic became a parking lot.

it took me 2 hours and 35 minutes to get into work this morning.

i am SO not looking forward to tomorrow... much less, tonight when i have to find a parking space that's not clogged with snow.

*sigh*
