Default Traffic F#%Q#$% BLOWS!!!

So I have a meeting in Tustin today. It starts at 8:00a.m. The location is less than 10 miles away. I left at about 7:05a.m. or so. I pulled up to the building at 8:08a.m.

There was an accident at the 55/5 interchange and traffic was at a standstill THE ENTIRE WAY. I thus missed my meeting and came straight to the branch. For the record it's about the same distance from Tustin to the branch and it took me about 9 minutes. F$%# California Traffic
I seriously want to punch a hole through the wall right now.

The only side street is Tustin - it's usually not faster. It might have been today though...

That route is the worst, and it's especially bad when there is beach traffic.

You know, from where you are, you could probably take the bike trail along the Santa Ana River and make decent time.

Dont feel bad, sometimes it takes me 2 hours to get to work. But an hour to go 10 miles is pretty bad.

That sucks Sean. You know I hit traffic on my way to the office this morning too. The cat was laying on the floor in the hallway so it took me about .5 seconds longer than it normally takes.

I had two piles of crap I had to walk around on my way to work. Instead of taking me 2 minutes it took 2 minutes 3 seconds to get to work.
