Hazards of the Road

driving, humor, random

A few days ago as I drove home for my lunch break I noticed that there were a few places where wires or small cables of some sort had been taped to the road. The wires ran from the street all the way to a small box located in the median.

Why were there two sets of wires and small boxes on my commute? Dozens of cars would run over them in the course of a day. What if I were the 299th car to run over the wires and the boxes were rigged to explode at the 299th car?!

Someone told me that the wires and boxes are supposed to count the number of cars that drive down the road for upkeep purposes. But how easy would it be for someone to rig the little boxes?

In this entry, I shall make use of the function that allows me to create cool bullet points. Observe:

• I’ll be finished with my job soon!
  This is the first day of my last week at my current job. I am so grateful for this! Do not underestimate the small miseries of a job that does not line up with your skills and/ or interests.
• Motivational troubles:
  When you know you will be leaving a job in 2 weeks, it is incredibly difficult to be motivated to show up in the morning, and very hard to focus on doing your work well (especially if you are bored most of the day anyway).
• Taking communion is sometimes a little nerve-wracking.
  Who knew the sacrament could be so stressful? [more on this later....]
• I have the quotes of the day gadget on igoogle, and here is one from today: “Life is far too important a thing ever to talk seriously about.” -Oscar Wilde
• Aaaaand the bullet points don’t show up, apparently. Bummer. At least the formatting part worked, right? [EDIT: Sometimes the bullet points show up, but sometimes they don't--it is mysterious.]
