He was going out to dinner at a restaurant that was only about 6 miles away from the office. He has been driving for about an hour now and he informed me that the traffic on the freeway is still piled up hard . So much for that. Killed 3 hours here, then spent another hour and a half on the road. Now that would definitely make me grouchy.
Traffic is backed up, miles and miles of cars crawling along no better than a snail s pace.
Reports were of a bad traffic accident, which resulted in critical injuries, making the police department obliged to close off a section of the freeway to conduct their in-depth investigation. Of course, during rush hour afternoon traffic, it s bound to cause a huge pile-up with residual effects that last for hours. My co-workers had long since gone, either going in other directions or deciding to throw caution to the wind and get out there on the road. Joyce updated me from various points along her journey. It took a total of 1.5 hours for her to get home, a commute that usually takes no longer than 30-45 minutes on a normal day.
