rant and rave session October 29, 2008

this post will span me the next 4 hours that i am at work.  i have been at work for almost 6 (?) hours and seething through my soul and skin is the absolute disgust i have for this post pardum puberty bull shit and anyone clutching onto their washington state drivers license.

the reason why this post will span the next 4 hours is because i break my hour lunch into random segments. during those segments i check the market (which last time i checked it was tanking again 300 points), gossip, real news and corral some junk food (which mind you has been straight murder death killing my stomach). maybe just maybe i will go to the bathroom or walk the property.

anyways, i am going to go back to working on my accounts payable since i won’t be in my office tomorrow. as i will be shlepping downtown again.

[this break has been brought to you by: your common sense, because if you don't use it, people like me will exploite your stupidity, which is known to run rampid in non-common sense using situations]

i hate when food makes me calm again. now i need to muster up my anger… agh.

okay, so to get from kent to tukwila in the morning there is various ways i could take. normally i would take this route:

kent-kangley to 116th to 256th to benson to james to west valley highway to 180th to andover park west.

during this seemingly ridicuouls drive off “the hill” i have to dodge the fleet of buses coming out of the bus barn at kent-meridian and various metro routes. not to mention the occasional jaywalker. anyways, my point about this whole trip is the james to west valley portion. south king county drivers, i fuck you not. i am NOT playing when it comes to this area. it is bad enough i need to ream a new one to sound mother fucking transit for putting down those train cross signs for 5-7 extra minutes when the sounder is loading passengers. why do i need to wait why they are boarding?!? unless another train is coming, please, i beg of you LET. ME. GET. TO. FUCKING. WORK. with all that unnecessary waiting i could have made it down to west valley highway and spead down that lovely new paved stretch of heaven.

speaking of that lovely new paved stretch of heaven…

headed north on west valley means that at the corner (after the dinosaur rocks place or whatever it is called) it goes from 30 to 50. if you are me, at the intersection of james and west valley that means it is 50. whatever floats your boat, but mother fuck.

one week later….

i originally wrote that on 10/22. i was pissed off, a lease document was taking it’s snails ass of a pace to chicago, i was in the midst of completing 2 budget binders…

…now it’s 10/29. all my worries have been resolved and now i am in the midst of completing 6 budget binders.

i am no longer mad, but about to get lunch with my bossy boss.

a calm shannon should spark fear in your hearts, because you know someshit is about to go down.

With a little love… August 25, 2008

…and some pissed off’edness…

 

south seattle fuckery

 

…some dog ran out into a street causing screetching tires and monkey* ramming his car into the back of someone elses car…

 

the fuckery jump off will commence when he gets back.

lots of my car being driven from west seattle, tukwila, kent and auburn.

 

 

 

*note: monkey is my ex-boyfriend… lol.

HOT vs. HOV August 22, 2008

no… this isn’t about “being hot” or the HOV himself. it’s a suspiciously placed possible hypocritical rant about me, you and SR 167.

apparently the double lines are illegal to cross

i like to know what’s going on in my own backyard. i watch the news and what not, but when this press release was released from the washington state department of transportation on fucking up the only method of freeway traffic in the valley, i was curious to the impact.  the press released on 4/30/08. at that time i was still living in the death match so i didn’t give a flying rats ass because i could hop directly on I-5.

[...okay for those who might not know, there are 3 major routes that run north and south in western washington: I-5, I-405, SR 167 (aka the valley freeway). when i say major, i mostly mean that they have speed limits that max at 60 (in the area). 167, runs through the valley. you either live on the hill or in the valley....]

in july i moved to kent. by then the loved HOV lanes, turned into this. HOV lanes were cool because if you felt like it you could hop in and out of the lanes whenever you wanted to. most of the time being a single occupant, i used it as my own personal passing lane when i got pissed off at some stupid fuck driving in front of me. any hot mess, so when i started coming home during the week from west seattle i was forced (for the quickest route home) to start taking these HOT lanes.

(if you decided not to click the links) HOT lanes stand for high occupancy toll lanes. during peak hours of traffic you are only allowed to enter and exit during the dashed lines. now after 7pm. it’s a free for all. so i don’t think that those HOT rules should apply. now, my problem with this HOT lane deal is this:

open to all traffic...my ass.

are you able to pass the double whites even after 7pm, since it is the free for all? i can honestly say, my single occupant ass has been using it as a passing lane and a driving lane, entering and exiting as i please since july. two conversations with jones (my best friend and roommate) have come up about this same thing. i tell her that i do cross the illegal double whites. then she reminds me it’s illegal (then i also hear her saying that i sometimes am committing a reckless driving act)…. i looked and looked on the FAQ and i can’t find not a jesus looking that tells me that i can. all i want to do is enter and exit the freakin HOT lane as i please. is that too much to ask?

…apparently it is…

that should explain EVERYTHING
