Wet Weather Traffic

Traffic was really bad this morning. It seemed a universal trend that whenever it rains in the morning, the traffic would be really slow and dreary on the roads. On such weather, one should be in bed snoozing but everyone's outside, battling their way to work or school. The public transport was just as bad. The Metro trains were not working well (also positive correlation to the weather) and many people had to opt to either get on board a slow train, wait for the buses or drive to work, the latter two options just contributing to the already congested, tortoise speed highway.

I regretted it the moment I turned up the ramp into the freeway but there was no U-turn. I had to join the queue. We crawled our way to the next exit and I turned out to take an alternative route. We made our way to school after 45 mins, a journey that would have usually taken 15 mins. But it was probably better than if we had stayed on the freeway.

Still it was too nice a weather to be frustrated. The birds and plants probably welcomed this wet day as compared the hotter and dry days before. Hopefully the bosses would be just as welcoming towards their late arriving employees as well :)
