Part of being at a new job is developing a routine. The very first routine is getting that route to work down. So far I have figured out 10 different routes to take to work. You would think that mapquest would be able to give me the best route, but it does not take into account Dallas traffic, or the stupidity of Dallas drivers. I call it Stupid Dallas Driver Disease or SDDD for short. Symptoms include: one handed driving on a cell phone, not letting drivers in, driving so fast you have to swerve to slow down, driving on the curb to get past traffic and handicapped/old drivers who go too slow. You would think I have this disease since I got a ticket, but really that was Stupid Cop Disease or SCD. It's like we're all frustrated in the morning. No one wants to drive 5 mph for 45 minutes. I think the real solution to the gas crisis is evident - don't drive to work. I mean, we have remote desktops, teleconferencing, cell phones, fax machines, shared network computers, VPN and even massively multiplayer gaming. Why not massively multiplayer working? Give it ten years. I predict a radical change in work environments. I can see gas prices hit that supply/demand point where the price becomes sky high, technology improves, and employers see a cost benifit. Anyway, I'm rambling...
