Shut yer yappin!

It took me five hours to get to work today.

Oh yeah, either I have really shitty tires or that was the worst ice I've ever driven over. I did a 180 degree turn on the ramp off of 128 near the Genuity building (I decided that I was sick of sliding all over the place and would take the backroads through Burlington - Woburn - Winchester - Arlington - Medford to get to Malden instead). Of course, most other people on that ramp just stopped dead or pulled over into the grass but dammit, I had to pee and I was hungry!

(I'm not a bad driver either, I've been driving in the Boston area for over 12 years, am a step 9 *and* had crappy piece of shit rear wheel-drive vehicles w/ cement blocks in the trunk for the first 5 years of my driving life. I'm just kind of dumbfounded at how crappy and terrifying this morning was at times)

Heh, and I leave for school in 2.5 hours. I wonder if I'll make it there by 4:00 or not for my class, I'm supposed to do a presentation.

I feel dissed, no fun snow to play in, just ice, ice baby :)

Glad you're safe.

Now you're making me rethink the move back to New England!

Eeek! I'm glad you're ok! Scary drive, and sucky commute.

sweet jesus. I'm glad you're fine. The ice is pretty bad. Oddly enough I did fine on the road, and almost fell on my ass 5 times on my walk to the office.

Looking forward to see you on Sat. We haven't talked in a while.

Wow, that sucks how long it took you this morning. It took Eric over 2 1/2 hours to get to work this morning.

Glad you made it in one piece!

*nodnod* all of our morning meetings were late getting here - one of the attorneys didnt even bother trying to continue coming here, after going 2 miles through the andover exits.

it's kind of sad when _my_ commute was shorter than yours. :)
of course, I left buttcrack early; before anything got REALLY bad it seems. I've given up on thinking about lunch - delivery or otherwise, just since everything is a mess out there! Good thing there's pretzels here. *crunch crunch*

Heh

"of course, I left buttcrack early"

What's "buttcrack early"? I leave my house at 6:30 every day :)

I had food in my car but had to pee as it was so I just wasn't going there!

I left somewhere between 5:45 and 6am.
Aside from travelling for trade shows (being on the road); I've never even been AWAKE that early for work.
And after today, I'm thinking I might go in even earlier, just so I can miss most of the evening traffic and all that FUN that goes with it.
I had no food in my car, but did have tissues. Thank goodness.

scary!

I think the ice was the main contributor to your drive...

Call the school and see if you have classes tonight, lots of people probably just turned around or are still stuck or afraid of getting stuck tonight

I slid all the way in, so I made relatively good time ...

Heh,

"I slid all the way in, so I made relatively good time ..."

Aw Perseus, you're just so slick! ;)

Joking aside, most of my time was spent sitting in the scenic Rt. 128 parking lot (the rest of the time was sliding around).

God, I am glad that you made it in safe. The guy who was giving my presentation today wasn't so lucky!
