I hate to be a whiny SoCal driver, but the traffic has been so horrendous on the Westside lately. I know there are closures due to the mudslides and recent rain, but it has taken me so long to get home or run errands after work. There has to be a better way. Unfortunately in LA, there is no better way unless they allow the subway systems to somehow get to the Westside, which will take about 5 years to build, at least. It also affects work as well because people will show up late due to the traffic and are almost always in a bad mood. I don’t blame them. I wanted to scream. I also realized that I left my “Driving CD” at work, so I was a little bitter. Ah well, at least I was finally able to get an oil change for my car.
I had dinner with Lisa tonight at the Apple Pan. Lisa has been really busy with her new job and I hadn’t really seen her in a while, though we do talk on the phone and IM every so often. It’s nice to know that though we don’t live together anymore, we still have the same friendship that we had when we did live together. She is one of the very few people who have met or know a majority of my friends and therefore conversations are easier because she would know who I was referring to and such. I am glad that we can not see each other for a while and still know what is going on in each others lives to the point where she and I accidentally repeat stories. I know that she is going through the post-college career search and I wish her much luck. The job market is horrible right now. It makes you wonder if a bachelor’s degree in anything is of any value around this town anymore. Sigh. Keep hope alive. I am glad that we can vent to each other and talk about life so openly and honestly. Sometimes that is all you need to feel better after sitting in traffic for hours.
SATC quote of the day: “After all, seasons change. So do cities. People come into your life and people go. But it's comforting to know the ones you love are always in your heart.” – Carrie (Season 4 - I Heart NY)
