Chinese Buffet

Today I had to report to our company headquarters to fill out some paperwork. Me and the boys all went there. One of us keeps talking about this monster Chinese buffet by headquarters. We planned to go to lunch there today.

After signing the forms, we wanted to dash out the door. However one of us invited another dude from headquarters. Bad move. This other guy invited a couple other people. I am not against a big party for lunch. But we ended up waiting forever for everybody to be ready.

Whenever I go to headquarters, I need to get on the road super early. Otherwise traffic kills me. The problem was that I stayed up real late last night. I am talking until 3:45am. Was thinking a lot about the possible move to a new house. Then after I shut my eyes, my alarm goes off at 5:00am. Ouch. At least I had enough time to get a couple sandwiches at McDonald's for the ride west to headquarters.

Absolute Gridlock

The big boss at work said my team needed to meet him. Of course his office is at headquarters, which is on the other side of town. Traffic is evil if you live near a big city.

I got up super early. Was on the road at 6:00am. There were still times I was stopped still on the highway due to traffic. But I made it to headquarters in good time.

Somehow I got trapped at headquarters. I could not leave until rush hour. That meant I got stuck in traffic, or the highway parking lot as I put it. I could not make it back home in time to see my mechanic, who was changing the oil in my truck. Tough day I tell ya.
