dallas drivers suck

i wake up at 6, shower, get dressed, and drive the 30 mins it takes to get to work. i get out of my truck, open the back door and find that my laptop is missing..... F!!!! i figure it is safe to assume that there aren't any computer stealing gremlins in the trunk of my truck, and therefore i slowly realize that i had forgotten my computer. the purpose of me getting up and leaving so early is to miss the rush-hour traffic. this drive takes 30 minutes without much traffic. and it is slowly dawning on me that i have to drive back, get the computer and drive back, only now it is going to be rush hour traffic..... F!!!!!!!! [jumping up and down i'm so furious] .

7:05 - i start the journey back.

7:24 - i get stuck behind a garbage truck that is covered in yellow grease looking stuff and smells so bad i start gagging.

7:28 - arrive and get my computer, head back

7:34 - hit deadlocked traffic at the highway

7:47 - have moved approximately 100 yrds and i wonder if this traffic is only caused by the over-abundance of cars

7:54 - another 20 yards, i see a cop at the scene of a small fender-bender about 30 yrds up

7:57 - passing by the accident, i am driving straight, minding my own business, obeying the rules of the road, watching the rest of the traffic

7:58 - SMACK!! the guy next to me hits the guy in front of him because they were both looking at the accident

8:07 - SMACK!! a frustrated guy behind me pulls a lousy attempt at a Cole Trickle and guns it, cutting into the left lane, the person driving in the left lane (again looking at the original accident) runs into the side of Cole Trickle.

so let me get this straight. it is bumper to bumper traffic, two people run into eachother, causing more gridlock, and less motion. then two more people crash, causing more gridlock and even less motion, and then two more collide?? now the entire highway is blocked, thankfully it was behind me. and of course, 50 yrds after the original accident, traffic opens completely up and flows as if nothing happened. i arrive at work at 8:32, an hour and a half late. the good thing about this is that it makes the morning go by quicker since i only have 3 hours till lunchtime, not 4, and still only 4 hours in the afternoon as i leave at 4 no matter what my boss says...... F dallas traffic!!!!
