The Longest Day Ever


Tuesday 9/18/2007 was the longest day ever for me.


Monday, I decided to stay at Yap's because I was tired and didn't feel like driving all the way back up. So on Tuesday morning, I called Yap to ask which way I should go to get to work. He said taking the 92 would be the fastest.


So here I am, feeling great because I left early and everything. 7AM is when I started out!


I get past the terrible 238 and just got on to 880 when the dj on the radio got to the traffic.


"If you are heading towards the 92, don't! It's a terrible mess out there with 3 big rigs in an accident and west bound 92 completely closed..."


Sigh. So I can't get to work that way but I am already in a mess of cars on the 880. 15 minutes later (one exit later) I get off and get on to 880 going the other way.


I am trudging along because many other people had decided to do the same thing. All I know is 2.5 hours later, hungry, bleary-eyed, and cranky, I finally got to work.


Then, an hour later, the systems at work decides to crash, and in the midst of all that, we have a fire drill. So, my coworker and I decide to take an early lunch and go.


Right when we get back, the systems are up. But because of this delay and other problems I found in our project.....


I stayed at work until 9pm.


The longest day ever.


Sigh.

That's crazy! There's nothing worse than sitting in traffic, although I don't think I've ever had it that bad. Once though, it took me 2 hours to get home from work . . .but then my day was over.
