"What took you so long?" was the first thing I heard as I walked in the door tonight. On my way home I ran into problem after problem. Fate was surely out to get me.
First, I forgot my car keys in my office after I had already walked to my car. Second, once I was in my car I remembered I needed to stop for gas. On my way to the gas station, I was slowed down by the rush hour traffic, but it was worse than usual because there was a car accident. Once I finally got to the gas station all of the pumps were taken and I had to wait for one to open up. When one did open up, would you believe that when I went to pull into the open pump an Audi sped in to the gas station, cut me off and took the open pump! I had to wait 10 more minutes for another pump.
After I got gas I debated whether I should take the freeway or drive on the local streets to get home. The freeway can be faster, but the local streets usually have less people. I don't know what I was thinking because I decided the take the local streets, and boy was that a bad idea! I hit almost every red light in between the gas station and home.
When I finally did get home, it had taken me a whole extra hour beyond what it usually takes me to get home! Geez! I will never forget my keys, stop for gas, or take sides streets ever again! It's a sprint from the office to home down the freeway for me from now on out!
I suppose the only good part of the whole thing was that when I had to go back for my keys my coworker gave me a rose out of the bouquet of flowers she had received that day!
