Fffffuuuuuuuuck
I was just stuck in the most hellish traffic imaginable. I left my job, in Woodbury, Long Island, at 5pm and just got home, in Sheepsheadbay, Brooklyn, now...it's 10:13pm. It usually takes me between 45 minutes to an hour and fifteen minutes to get home. Not tonight though. No, there were other plans for me tonight.
My usual route is to take 135 North to the Southern State to the Belt Parkway which takes me home. Route 135 was no problem. It had the same volume of traffic it usually does for the 5pm rush. The Southern State, on the other hand, was a different story. I get on the Southern State at around exit 28, traffic didn't get better until exit 15. Three lanes were merging into one lane at two points on the Southern State.
After about 2 hours crawling on the Southern State, traffic started to move going into the Belt so I thought, "Excellent! I'm moving now baby!". Well, that enthusiasm was short lived once I saw the sea of red lights in front of me at around Francis Lewis Blvd. I spent another two and half hours on the Belt Parkway moving at white knuckle speeds of over 5 MPH. See, when I was on the Southern State I wanted to go on a shooting spree but when I got on the Belt, well, I just needed my Mommmy at that point.
I'm home now and dead tired. If tomorrow was Tuesday I'd have to check into a mental hospital 'cause I'd be wagging my finger up and down my lips.
