This morning, I did something I've never done before. I was on the Tri-State Tollway, when this truck cuts in front of me. We were only going 35, but it still pissed me off that he just had to get into my lane. I can see him in his side view mirror - he's fiddling with a cell phone. Now, I will give it to him, he always stayed at whatever speed the back was moving - 35mph, 45, mph... 80 mph. The problem was this guys was drifting all over the place. He was slowwwly drifting right then slowwwly drifting left, moving from one set of lane markers to the other. I can see him again - he's off the phone and now he's eating something. Still drifting back and forth. I watch this guy go over the yellow line onto the shoulder. And then, he decides to change lanes and the lane change is a sudden jerk on the wheel.
Well, I had enough. The truck had the phone number of his company - so I called and reported the guy. I was polite and brief and I just wanted the company to know that they've got a driver out here that was dangerous. Now, coincidentally, as soon as I hung up the phone, he stopped swerving and got off at the next exit. Hmmmm....
What a gorgeous day today - sunny and in the 70's! Wonderful!
Test drove a Thermos bottle for coffee today. OK, the wife's company turns out a great product that I highly recommend. 16 ounces of coffee stayed hot for over 8 hours!!!! Gotta like that...
No music in the room today. That's OK, was busy and had to concentrate a bit. This was a day when I got nothing accomplished at work. it's not that I didn't do anything - quite the opposite. I worked my butt off, but we wound up not delivering anything we had scheduled. Very unfulfilling.
The drive home tonight was another Twilight Zone event. It may have been a warm, wonderful day but everyone wa driving 5-10 mph under the limit, and it didn't matter what road I was on.
Found out tonight that Carol's going to Las Vegas on business in January! Can you say "Jealous?" There's no way we're going to be able to afford to have me go with. I miss that damn town so much...
