What a frustrating morning. First, I decide to make myself – what else?- a gingerbread latte for the road this morning. Which of course makes me miss the crucial minute at which I can leave the house and still make the 8:00 train, so I figure I’ll just take it easy and catch the next one at 8:20. Matter of fact, I’ll just leave when I am ready and if I am too early, enjoy my coffee in the car and read my new Economist. Well, I dawdled a little here and there, and left maybe 4-5 minutes later than I could have. And wouldn’t you know it – when I got to the train station the 8:00 train, running about 10 minutes late, was just then pulling away from the station. If I had just left like 2 minutes earlier not only would I have made it, but I would have witnesses a verbal confrontation in the quiet car. Pisser. In any case my train came just 10 minutes later… no real excitement there.
The weather forecasters practically have on-air orgasms at the prospect of a flake of snow; that’s all the more reason to be annoyed. Schools cancel around here if so much as one single flake hits the road (regardless of whether it melts or not) and Washingtonians cannot handle winter weather. What am I saying, they can’t even handle perfect weather. Ugh. I’m totally looking forward to Wednesday, when this whole weather drama should be over.
