I can’t stand it anymore! There is traffic everywhere all the time. I’m not sure why. I understand that there is rush hour traffic between the hours of 7 am – 10 am and 4 pm – 7 pm. But come on guys… Just because we live in a metropolitan area doesn’t mean that it has to take all of us 2 – 4 hours to get somewhere relatively close, does it???
Yesterday, I arrived at JFK Airport at 3 pm. I picked up my car with no problem and drove onto the Belt Parkway. What a mistake! It was bumper to bumper traffic. URRGH!!!!! It only took me three hours to get home, which should normally take 1/2 hour.
Today was no better. I had a meeting in NYC at lunchtime. I drove into the city and it took about a 1/2 hour to get in. Once I was there, I couldn’t make any turns until 6th Avenue. That was frustrating. But more frustrating was on the way home. It was only 3 pm. It took me almost three hours to get back to my Long Island office. I was so mad, furious and disappointed at the same time. (Disappointed because I should have taken my computer with me so I didn’t have to come back to the Westbury office.)
Traffic really sticks but it’s a way of life for us living in the NYC Metropolitan area. I guess one would say, “stay or get off the ship!” I think I’ll stay for a while….
