It took me 2.5 hours to get home from work tonight. And part of that time was spent walking half a mile from where I left my car on the side of the highway. The nice people who make the roads safer have somehow made it completely impassible since a little after 2 pm today (friday). They were attempting to put in a traffic light at Boulder Ln. and 620 (the intersection 300 yards from my home) and somehow broke a 12 inch, high pressure gas line. There are tons of fire trucks out there and traffic on 620 is completely shut down on the 9000 block of 620, which coincidentally, is the the only way I can get home. My feet hurt and I'm bored. I can't go anywhere without walking down to the car, driving at least 10 miles out of the way, and then doing the same thing to get home. It sucks a lot.
I don't really want to leave my car on the side of the road until I wake up in the morning at about 10, but I need to get some sleep. Thomas is supposed to be here soon, but it could take him forever, too. Somebody needs to entertain me. I'm really, really bored.
