Just call me O.J.

Holy shit people, my morning commute is insane lately. Yesterday was both sad and awesome all at the same time. I was starring in my very own Hertz commercial. I left the house early, about 10 minutes earlier than normal. Traffic on 480 was horrible. So, that set me back. I got off the freeway and did my best Nascar weaving in and out of traffic. Finally made it to work and had about 6 minutes to park and sprint to the time clock (you know, because of those phucking points if I am tardy). At the light that I need to make a right at to get to my garage some dumbass bus driver is just sitting there blocking the road (sidenote: are ALL RTA drivers just phucking retards? Is that a requirement to be a bus driver???). So, I punch the gas and get out in the left lane to go around the bus and make a right. As I'm getting ready to play chicken with an oncoming car so that I can turn left into my garage some pedestrian comes strolling directly into where I need to turn. Whatever, I turn anyway almost hitting her (actually I didn't mean to almost hit her and I did mouth "sorry" to which she responded somewhat negatively so I yelled "well get out of my way you stupid bitch" but I don't think she heard me). FINALLY I get in my garage and I'm down to about 5 minutes left to park and run. As I am going up the ramps I get stuck behind some bunghole waiting for a spot. I try to pass him, but the jerk pulling out of the spot doesn't stop when I'm nearly behind her and I have slam on my brakes and reverse. UGH. I finally get around these assclowns and am heading up another ramp at warp speed when I pass an open spot. I slam on the brakes and reverse (I did actually look behind me) when I see a car has sped up trying to get the spot. Uh, hell no McDouchebag, I'm getting that spot. So, I rubbed him a little - hey rubbin' is racin' and I'm racin' the clock and a dictator. I get the spot. I take literally 3 seconds to grab my purse and lunchbag and the sprint begins. I jumped over an old lady, I knocked over some dude with a walker and I think I may have spit on the jerk on the lower level who cost me precious minutes and I arrived at the time clock. Clocked in at 8:36. I had a full minute cushion! People, that is some skill right there!

Also, I'm pretty sure this woman was the reason for the bad traffic on 480.

    Why don't you just sleep here and save yourself the headache of the morning commute?

    Brian: right, I'll just leave the night before. That sounds good.

    Lo Lo: Great idea! They have showers here and I could just wear scrubs!

    Ubie: My start time is 8:30 a.m. I have a 7 minute grace period to arrive in before I am given a point for being tardy.

    You really need to get a new job nearer home. I still can't get over this points system in operation. That is dreadful.

    Fortunately for me my job is 30 mins walk from my house. Plus we have flexi working hours, so if I'm hung over I can roll in at 10.

    I had a run in with a bus driver myself yesterday. I was crossing the road at a zebra crossing and this bus accelerated at me, slammed his breaks on, stopped a couple of feet away from me and gave me a good parping with his horn. I dutifully responed by mouthing F**K YOU! and flipping him the bird. He went a sort of purple colour and I could see little bits of spittle flying out of his mouth. Hopefully I induced a heart attack. I hate bus drivers.

    But she gets a point for being sick, right?

    that exact attendance policy caused me to call in sick 10 times as often as I normally would have. Brilliant.

    I say collect the points and trade them in for frequent flyer miles.
