Long drives and a meme

I love this interests collage meme ^_^ They come up with some annoying things for Shelley, though... many many scantily clad girls and far too few Romantic poets.

Yesterday I went into work at 9:00 because caitirin's university had a late opening, so we could both sleep late. That meant I had to work until 5:00 instead of my usual 4:15 to make up for the time. Today I had a dentist's appointment in the morning (my teeth are quite healthy, proud to report!) and I left the dentist's at 8:30, thinking I'd be to work at the latest by 8:50 or 9:00 and then I'd just have to stay a little bit later today.

Apparently at 7:30 this morning somebody driving a truck rolled over into the tollbooth about 2/3 of the way between where we live and where I work. At 8:35, I was getting onto the highway for what is normally a 10-minute ride to work. I was perplexed that there was so much traffic that the flow of cars was practically stopped right after I got on.

At 9:15 I was still a mile from the tollbooth.

That stretch of road can't be more than five or six miles, and I went it doing 5 mph the whole way. So much for getting to work on time.

So I stayed at work until 5:15, and if I stay until 5:15 tomorrow, I'll have made the time up. And when I came home, Caitirin had wonderful delicious wife soup cooking on the stove for me! <3

Now for that meme.
