The weather here today was really slipperly. It took me a while to get in, but thankfully after about 1/2 way, the bus driver is the one worrying about traffic, not me. But that's not before I almost got taken out by a car close to my house. We were headed toward each other on a turn, both using more of the center of the lane than we should have been. The other guy (or girl, I didn't stop to check) were going way too fast for the conditions. I have new snow tires, I was going really slow, and I still found it slick. Anyways, when I saw them coming, I moved totally into my lane (and I could do so because I was going slow). They tried to move into their lane but they ended up spinning out. I am just glad that they didn't hit me. I stopped and checked that they didn't actually ditch it, and then just carried on. They can turn their own car around.

Still driving in eh? is this just a contract position that you got? or is it permanent. If it's permanent you should probably look into getting an apartment downtown. You'll save a lot of time travelling. I don't know how you do it.
ReplyDeleteRight now I am on contract, but my boss promises to start the paper work for a "term" position as soon as the freeze is over.
ReplyDeleteAnd it would have made more sense to get a place downtown when I was going to school. Now I am traveling during working hours, I can get there and back pretty fast (relitively speaking). Like dive + bus in TRAFFIC takes 45 minutes (usually), while just driving down would take about 30-40 minutes, no traffic. God, I love the transit way.
