Unlucky on the road
After my trip to Vegas, my friends and I headed to New York to visit some family and friends. Unlike our like on the poker table, the roads of New York proved to be a tougher deal during my visit.
We were on cruising on the streets of New York just near the Brooklyn Bridge, and as we pass by the exit that you should take if you are taking the bridge, the traffic comes to a crawl to a stand still. Well I know it is pretty normal to see these streets to be like a big parking lot most of the time but it was pretty weird that our lane was not moving while those on the right were somehow able to move. I knew there must be blood or something on the road ahead.
Minutes have been wasted and my watch screaming that I will be late for a late afternoon meet up. You cannot do anything but just expect some accident or major trouble on the road, then lo and behold, we see a big construction machine on a snail pace cruise.
If my stare can only do something like lift that construction worker and his machine of the roads of New York so we can zoom to wherever we are going. The guy was not even looking around and I am pretty sure a lot of people that drove pass him have screamed some curses.
Are you kidding me?
Every once in a while, something goes absolutely wrong, doesn’t it? I spent about 3 hours at a local store waiting for “some guy” to help me fix something on my car, and when he arrives he says: “please come back on Monday morning, 10am, we’ll have it done within two hours!”.
Oookaaaay….
Friend Skipping Vegas Trip
Aargh.
I’m heading to Vegas in a couple weeks for the World Series of Poker and to get some business done in Las Vegas (which is one of the US cities where our company is very active and has loads of interests) — and now my friend who was joining me skipped the trip… That means flying alone, eating alone and doing much more stuff alone while in Sin City.
Oh well!
Speeding Ticket….
Got a speeding ticket this week. Not the biggest problem in the world, it happens – but this time, I feel extra angry.
We have radio stations announcing police speed check locations here, and I knew the one that caught me was there…
Cost me around $150. Irritating.
