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.

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:

      25-26 NHL Regular Season Thread

      Great article on all the Lil Canes attending their debutantes ball. Walt with a great breakdown of all the rookies, as always, and I'm a huge fan of his team coverage, he is truly a treasure, but as a fan of mixed metaphors and superfluous language which some might ignorantly refer to as a "run-on sentence" I never really understood what that mean or where to put the comma after a quote in the middle of a sentence, but holy poo Walt, this is a gem, "While there's a long road left in front of them left to determine whether or not they'll have that same success on the blue line again, the beginning stretch of the journey has been thrown a wrench, and the story on defense has been the emergence of up-and-comers forced into becoming lineup regulars." , bravo, take a bow, sir!

      When the broadcast showed the two benches side by side during the last TV timeout, it was pretty obvious the whole operation is a shitshow. If I was the owner, I would play that clip, with commentary, on the jumbotron at MSG as I fired the coach, GM, President, the whole lot. Bring in your AHL leadership team, wholesale, to finish out the season and start from scratch next year.  Can't fire all the players and fold the season. But, hopefully decapitating the zombie will light a fire under the body and burn out the cancer of the roster. (It makes sense if you don't think about it...) There are obviously issues on the roster. But, you can't have the entire coaching staff completely tuned out with 5 minutes left in a 2 goal game this early in the season. And you can't trust the people that hired them to hire the next staff. If you trust your AHL GM/Scouts, let them run the deadline firesale.   ...     Please don't let the owner read any of this. Because, this poo is hilarous!
