driving rant

What exit are we supposed to get off at?
No, I don’t like the bp; we
should get gas at the Quiktrip. No, we’re
not eating at O’Charley’s. Why—
because it’s overpriced fast food. Change
the CD already; we’ve listened to
this one three times over. I see
the merge sign; I’m trying, dammit.
Well, this fucker keeps speeding up
then slowing down. What? I see
the HOV lane open—ok—GODDAMN IT!
-what? Yeah, we’re doing
ok on time. Check my bag, would ya?
Do I have toothpaste—toothbrush—
sandals—sneakers—how many pairs
of socks?—deodorant—chapstick—
lotion—no lotion. crap. Maybe the
hotel will have some. Will you stop
reading the signs—I can see. Oh—
the sign for Cumming. I know,
I don’t want to go to this meeting
either. But at least the Holiday
Inn is nice, and free.
