Me and a fellow co-worker have been sent to New Jersey for external training and wouldn't you know him and I almost died within the first 5 minutes of our 3 minute commute. I know.....just listen. We literally have to drive under 4 miles to go to the training class, the highway system is by far the worst I have ever seen...ANYWHERE. I boot up the GPS, get on the highway and within a few hundred feet the GPS is telling me to get to the left lane and exit....ya not happening so I figure I'm just going ot do the usual thing I do keep driving and she'll (my GPS' name is Jill...the voice that is) recalculate for us. She did, except now a 3 minute commute turned into 30 minutes. WHAT!? Well this is because of the beautiful architecture of the roadways here in NJ. Long story even longer, I have to merge on this highway to arrive at my destination. Now its a left lane merge, which is prevalent in MA, except here's the big difference. In MA we have a lane to go into....not so in NJ. Now sure I saw the signs for Yield...they were everywhere....however between having no idea where I am, listening to the GPS bark out order and having to cut across 4 lanes of speeding rush hour traffic, I guess I got a little frazzled. Completely blew the yield sign only to find a mini van barrel-assing its way down the highway, slams on its brakes, lays on the horn and I'm saying..."Ooops sorry gotta get over." My co-worker and I are having a good laugh apparently not knowing the danger of what we just escaped only to hear sirens coming from somewhere. I look in my rear view mirror and side views...nothing. Well that's because the black Impala was on my ass, anyway I get pulled over by a "detective" who liked to hear himself yell and tell me I had no idea what I was doing....(no shit really). I apologized and he said ya ya have a good day. Tomorrow I'll be damn sure to not miss the first exit!
Once in class I sit next to this nice motherly woman who obviously has a severe cold. Have you ever noticed when someone has a bad cold they tend to exhale a lot more prevalently....ya that's the exact wrong thing to do and of course its all over me. I swear to sweet Jesus if I get sick as a result of getting stuck next to her I'm gonna be pissed.
