Every afternoon when all of the corporations shut down for the day, traffic is an absolute nightmare, however around 4:00, the roads are packed with people & it is impossible to go somewhere swiftly! Downtown is of course the worst arena to be in the afternoon, then everyone is leaving the buildings & heading toward the interstate, then it’s best to be heading in the opposite direction while in this time of the day, and yesterday I had a heating system maintenance job at 5:00 in the afternoon.
It was my last job of the day & I was already on the other side of town.
I knew that I was going to barely make it to the job, even if I moved swiftly. I got onto the interstate & traffic was moving swiftly until an accident occurred; When the accident occurred, traffic slowed down to a crawl. I was stuck a half mile behind the section where the accident was situated. It took almost an hour for the crews to scrub things up & half of that time I was sitting there waiting, and the lady for the heating system maintenance was aggravated & sad that I didn’t get to her residence until 5:30, but there was nothing that I could do about the traffic & the accident. I did my best to make it to the appointment on time. Hopefully the traffic won’t be this bad once they get the modern lanes of traffic finished… Right now my great friend and I have 3 east & 3 west bound lanes, but at the beginning of the year, my great friend and I will have five on each side.
