For the love...

Let me preface this post with the statement that I really am thankful for sanitation workers. I mean, really, how great is it that you can put out your garbage at night and have it be gone in the morning? Almost as good as the tooth fairy...except there's no money involved, just an empty can...

Let me also acknowledge that the world does not revolve around me, and I am aware of this.

That being said, as I was driving the three blocks to school today (I would walk but it's dark when I go home at 7:30 and people tell me I shouldn't...), I turned onto the street the school is on, which happens to be one way. When I reached the stop sign half a block from the school I realized that my plans were going to have to change...because there was a garbage truck blocking the road and facing the wrong way! I might have considered sitting behind the truck for half of a block, had it been travelling in a legal direction. Instead I had to go a few blocks down to a street that was going the direction I wanted to go and was not blocked by a large truck. A huge inconvenience, I know :-p

Seriously people. What if the truck had been a little further down the block, before the stop sign? Then I would have been totally trapped because I would have turned onto the one way street not knowing it was there. Geezlouise. It's fine with me if you use the one way streets inappropriately, just do it before anyone is trying to get to work. Thank you. I am done now.
