Missing You Again
So I have never missed wisconsin more than last night...cuz what happened last night, wouldn't have happened in wisconsin. I sat on the interstate for like 3 hours (actually 2.5, but who's counting) in exactly the same spot...not moving even an inch because people around here just fucking don't know how to drive in the snow and ice...which means....
people get into accidents regularly when it does actually snow (very rare) but there's always lots of accidents, and then, even the emergency personnell don't really know how to drive in the snow and ice so it takes them like 3 days to get it all cleaned up after a snow...
finally i talked a cop (who also couldn't get close enough to the accident to see what was going on) into letting me cut through (sideways on the interstate, mind you) a very small space in traffic just ahead after she had a couple other people move off to the shoulder while i did this, so that i could drive along side the interstate to get to the next exit which was only half a mile from where i was. i got desperate sitting there for that long...very clausterphobic and nearly passing out from all the exhaust fumes around me (cuz nobody would turn their car off even for a second since it was "sooo" cold--read: 30 degrees) and i decided that i had to do something...so when the cop walked by...
me: do you know how much longer this is going to take?
her: 2 hours or more still...
me *omfg!!! 2 more hours!!! yeah that'll give me a nice hour to get ready and just leave for work when i get home...if they even get it cleaned up in that amount of time*: so are they gonna start directing traffic off the exit ramp or anything? i know there's a way to get to nashville on that road too?
her: no, it's really icy on that road too...we don't want to block up 2 roads...
me: *wtf? how stupid can a person fucking be?* well...alright then.
her: sorry
half hour later
*bang bang bang on my window* I had fallen asleep on the side of my car...
policewoman again: so what's gonna happpen is that car is gonna drive off into the shoulder and then the van in front of him is gonna back up and they are going to drive through the small space in front of that semi there...then they're gonna drive along the side to the exit down to *insert whatever the fuck small town that this place tries to call itself*
me: *excited* yeah...ok.
her: you can follow them if you want and drive along side the highway to the exit ramp...just be very careful cuz there's ice on the side of the road.
me: ok..well thank you very much.
her: just don't block up that road too...don't make me regret this.
me: ok *idiot!* thank you again
and then finally i was moving again...very slowly, but moving again...and though i know i had seen signs for 431 around nashville (so i knew i'd end up somewhere i knew) i didn't exactly know where it was going to come out, or how long it was going to take me to get to this "undetermined location" but since it was almost 3 am i was happy just to be moving again...i was already gonna get no sleep before going to work today, but moving forward was better than sleeping in my car on the interstate b/c the idiots around here don't know how to drive. and then, magically...i appeared on briley parkway...much closer to my house than i would have been even if i had taken my "normal" exit off of 24. so i was happy, but i still didn't get to sleep until like 4 am...ha! i get up at 6 30 to get ready for work.
...and i'm pretty sure, after looking at the license plates of the other people who the cop had "let" drive on the shoulder, that she only let me follow b/c i still have wisconsin plates...the other two were illinois and indiana...so everything does happen for a reason...lol. i couldn't find my title so that i would have to get wisconsin plates on my car so that i wouldn't have to sleep on the interstate in my car...oooohhh yeeaaahhhh!
oh yeah and did i mention that this stupidness would have never happened in wisconsin beeecaaauuusee...............even if somebody stupid did go off the road, at least the cops and other emergency personnel would have known enough about driving in the weather to get it cleaned up a hella lot faster because.........they wouldn't have been dumb enough to drive too fast ALSO and go off the road TOO!!! which did happen last night i found out...way to go nashville intelligence.
