you commute to work

Every morning on my 8 mile commute to and from work I find myself extremely frustrated with the following things (not in any particular order):

1. The speed limit is 55 mph, but we are only going 30 mph.
2. The light turns green, but we are still sitting there as if at a red light.
3. Semi trucks think they can change lanes whenever they want, even if there is already a car or 4 in said lane.
4. It takes me anywhere from 30-45 minutes to make the 8 mile long commute.
5. People pull into an intersection even when there is no room for them to get through, prohibiting me from being able to move when I get the green light.
6. All the radio stations play California Gurls by Katy Perry on repeat.
7. There is no Starbucks on either of the 2 most convenient routes.
8. The bumpy roads.
9. I get about 9 miles to the gallon due to all the stopping and going.
10. There aren't even any cute guys to look at in the cars next me.

These are just a few of the things that drive me crazy on an almost twice daily basis. I have always considered myself a fairly patient driver, but this is going to send me over the edge one of these days. Who would have ever thought that one thing I'd miss about Dallas is the traffic!!
