Is there anything worse than construction traffic?

There can't be a lot.

Missed both my classes today because both routes to the campus are backed up.

This one road has been under construction for two years.

To make this day EVEN worse, I just found out that my Uncle's cancer is terminal and that he has 2-3 months left.

FML

edit: clearly having a family member pass is worse

When I went to New Zealand I had to stand outside of the Asheville airport for five hours because of some damn idiot with a bomb who got past the first security checkpoint.

They made us all stand in the sun without water and you can't leave or you don't get to come back.

sitting on an airplane out on the tarmac is clearly far more worse than construction traffic.

Sorry about your uncle though...it should give you some perspective on what's important though! Being stuck in traffic seems pretty trivial in comparison

Here in Asheville I take highway 19/23 home everyday. There has been bridge construction on various bridges on this highway for about two months now. It's about an extra 15 minutes sitting in traffic a day, but dealing with discourteous drivers is far more frustrating than the traffic itself.

And of course, my condoloences to your uncle.

You work downtown? I always liked to grab a beer after work to let 17:00 traffic die down some.

Nah, I actually work west of Asheville and take 40 to 26 to 19/23. But usually after work I just wanna go home and veg for awhile. :thumbsup:

    • Really? You don't see why a team can't draft a QB in the 1st round while then starting their former #1 overall pick over them while on the last year of their deal? It puts the team in a TERRIBLE place no matter how the season goes.  If Bryce sucks, you have to answer questions as to why he was still on the team to begin with, let alone starting over the rookie.  If he's good, then you run into the situation the Vikings were in last offseason with sticking with the rookie contract or the the guy who just performed instead of said young QB. It's one thing when teams keep a vet around as a bridge QB, it's something entirely different when that QB is still only in their mid 20's and was taken #1 overall by that team.   That just doesn't happen and not sure it ever has in NFL history before.
    • What is the alternative? - BY, will not play for less then his perceived contract (just like Cam Newton did). So you pay him top of market as befitting a 1st round, Heisman winning, playing birthing QB would get. Or you cut him. - Then we are forced to either sign a stop gap QB / previously failed QB and try to fix him or you spend a 1st round pick and draft a guy, basically resetting the team.  The reality is that we all want a top 5 QB. The problem is there are only 5 of those guys in the world and drafting, even #1 overall doesn't guarantee that.  The other problem is the NFL market. Young QB get paid. Even an average, young QB gets top of market deals. I know a lot of people here think we could sign him to an 'average QB contract' but thats not reality. Didnt happen with Cam wont happen with BY.  So we could let this season flush out and he is again a middling QB. But then we cut and restart or accept it is what it is (including compensation) and build a team around what we have.  My money is on the latter.
