Monday’s are never fun. And if you’re me, then you wake up realizing it’s the beginning of another week, you haven’t done half of what you had planned to over the weekend; your dirty clothes pile has grown 10x larger than your clean clothes pile; you’ve forgotten to pick up your dry cleaning which holds some of your better “office” attire; you have a 15 page final due on Friday and you haven’t even started it; and you have too much to do at work to even think about calling in sick.
Therefore you stumble out of bed, pray that you have enough contact solution left to be able to retain your last pair of contacts and you climb into your car regretting the fact that you decided to participate in Lent this year and have given up mochas until Easter.
So as you can see, if you’re me, you’re already pretty cranky before you even hit the freeway. Not a good sign. As such I’m sure you can understand why I became enraged when some yahoo on his cell phone not only took both turning lanes in order to turn right onto 4th Ave, then proceeded to try and parallel park – still holding his cell phone to his face – and therefore blocked me for what seemed for like an hour while he tried to park his car, thus not allowing me by.
You can also understand why this event has completely soured my day, thus making me grow increasingly crankier because I have the looming thought of … “great I have to drive home tonight.”
Consequently, if you see the following breaking news blurb on the six o’clock news “red car rams multiple vehicles on I-5,” yep it’s me and the rage – it’s taken over.
