Frustrations...(traffic and all that)

The traffic is driving me bonkers! I mean it, it really is so frustrating and we are only into the third day of the choatic road and traffic situation that is upon us, out here on this side of the patch.

The beauty of school holidays is peak hour traffic is no more, totally unheard of; it's heaven just to be able to drive through so casually without all the hecticness of traffic.

So once school and all the other traffic that goes with it descended upon us again this Monday, I let out a huge sigh mostly of irritation. Being Ramadhan it meant even more holding back (on the speech that is).

So imagine my frustrations which are already on a high, when I find out there are major roadworks on one of the routes to work. It's fine, really I can just use another route right.. Of course..except, all the others millions of people that have to use that route have to divert and use my other route! So you can imagine the traffic..I am serious it is horrendous, crawling like a tortoise!

To make matters worse, there are more roadworks! I mean why do these people wait all blooming summer and then decide to mend our roads and bridges and whatever else it is that our road tax pays them to do?! And why is it that they work so slow, I mean real slow. Seriously hasn't anyone told these guys that to work this slow is a like a crime or something? It is in my place of work, I'd get the freaking sack if I worked that slow!

So all in all this is going to be a heck of a long and frustrating 40 weeks (yes that is how long this bridge strengthening project is to last for), that's like the whole year!

A whole year of inconveniences, remembering to allow myself more time for my journey to work (how many times shall I arrive late and get that glared look, it's like these people manage to get to work on time and for me the traffic brings hell on?). Allowing time for anywhere else that I decide to take a trip to, and last but not least, uttering some lovely pleasantries in order to vent the frustration :p Ramadhan is really curtailing it for now but it sure wont last..!

Really...it is Happy Driving -:)
