Sometimes my commute can take up to 2 hours of my day. It's been especially bad since everyone has Christmas parties and lots of shopping to do. I don't have road rage, but sometimes I get frustrated because I feel like people are in my way. It makes me want to ask Andre the Giant (from Princess Bride) to stand on a mountain and yell, "everybody move!"
Since my alarm beeped for 40 min. before it woke me up this morning (I never do that... I was SUPER tired from yet another night of girls sobbing over boys for hours), I really needed a traffic miracle...and it came. My little car just flew through traffic. Traffic was light and cars that were actually in my lane moved as I came down the road. I had to keep looking in my rear view mirror to make sure there wasn't an ambulance with its lights on behind me. No one cut me off. My heart beat didn't even speed up. I was 25 minutes early to work. What a great Friday present.
