Ivory Tower Squabble EST 2011. WINDMILL SURVIVOR
Sure was. Though, it was my own fault. I was working from home yesterday, and we closed down all our locations at 3p. So, I had no reason to work so I decided to go to the grocery store which is 1.2 miles from my house to pick up stuff to make a 3bean chili recipe I'd picked up. The drive to Publix wasn't bad. Took about 15 minutes. But, that's because I was going against the grain of traffic. When I got there, Publix had just decided to close. So, I took an access road and a side road back to my house stopping by a gas station along the way. That leg of the trip was 1.9 miles and that's what took so long to get back.
I did make it to the gas station though, and thank goodness it was a QT. They have a really good hot dog setup there. So, I picked up a soda and two hot dogs and quite literally ate my dinner while waiting in traffic...for nearly 2.5 hours...to go about a mile.
Yeah, going to the store was a bad idea.
But, I did it to myself. In some ways it was actually relaxing. Getting to watch all the carnage, people not knowing how to drive in the snow, and I flipped through the radio several times.
I will admit, I did use my cel phone to play around on the wdwmagic site and other things while I waited...I don't think I endangered anyone with that.
I was quite literally driving with my brake pedal. I didn't have to touch the gas much at all.
Sounds like you took it in stride.
During college I spent days at Ohare where I worked without being able to leave. Half of us were there and the other half couldn't get in, so there we stayed. I handled unaccompanied minors, patrons with disabilities and VIPs. We didn't have any VIPs, the passengers with disabilities we had blocked hotel rooms for. It was those unaccompanied minors, mid leg of their trips, spent with me over their winter break at Ohare.
What the heck? When did they start manufacturing 2 gallon bags?
