welcome to the worst commute of my life...!an epic 7 hour commute from Downtown Seattle to Redmond...
i like it when i can do it in 40 minutes... i bitch about it when it takes me an hour...
well holy hell, it took me 7 hours today...!
and we can only blame the stupid snow...
well no! i love snow..snow is pretty and gentle and fragile and pretty~
so then who is to blame??
the people who don't know how to drive in it!!! and the city for saying they were gonna be "prepared" for this bad winter but turns out they weren't!!
so i left work at 430-- i skipped my first bus and 'walked' to downtown instead.. smart move!one less bus to worry about!
so i'm walking and i ran into a fellow co-worker who drove and skidded everywhere..then i see other people just sliding everywhere... at this point i'm thinking "boy am i glad i skipped the bus! walking is super awesome!"
then i get to downtown...the HEART of downtown...
it's a friggin' mess... ... i spot my 266 so i catch it! YESSS!!
but then my bus ends up sitting there for a solid 2 hours...
i think i moved an inch every 15 minutes!
then turns out a bus had jack-knifed around the first corner! argh...
but i'm still stuck.. 4 hours later i'm finally out of the city...and now the freeway is backed up..
then it's running again! then... holy hell... i'm stuck on the 520 floating bridge for 4 more hours...
2 buses had jack-knifed ahead of us and blocked ALL LANES...plus it's an uphill and many peeps haven't switched to snow tires yet... meanwhile snow just keeps on falling and the road turns into ICE! i'm so bored out of my mind i stare out the window--car after car is covered in icicles!
...anyway..i'm home now and i'm tired..sleepy..hungry and NOT (most likely) going to work tomorrow.. and actually the metro bus recommends everyone to stay home tomorrow...
ZZzzzz gnight...
