I'm glad to put my daily commute to rest as I move much more near my job next week. 7 and a half months of 100 miles daily commute is enough to drive anyone a little nuts. I personally have this recurring dream that I'm driving and am unable to break. I had one recently that I had lost the break peddle completely. Then I went to stores looking for a new one, but I kept going into completely irrational stores, like Michaels craft store. I went in and asked where they keep their replacement break peddles, they told me that I could make one out of popsicle sticks.
Observant readers would note the zero tickets. I didn't even get pulled over once during 7 and a half months of commuting. Being that today was my last day of the commute I had this fear that right as I got on the highway, all the state troopers would be waiting to give me all the tickets they hadn't given me over the past 7 months.
Ironically as I got on the highway for real today, I was greeted by two state troopers with their lights ablaze. Luckily it was because some goon in an oversized SUV rolled into a ditch and they were tending to him. Helping him tie his bandeezee around his leg to help stop the bleeding. I slinked by and laughed at the preposterous situation and the fact that I, for a brief second, actually thought my irrational fear came true.
