Jammin' in the Street

I clocked in at 7:59:30 this morning. It was like a cliffhanging experience for me, rushing to the 28th floor of our building in the morning, hoping that the computer clock is slower than my wrist watch. And boy, was I relieved to arrive just in the nick of time.

But why the rush? I mean, why the hell was I almost late to begin with?

I woke up relatively early this morning, about 30 minutes earlier than my normal waking time. I changed my routine a bit and had breakfast before I took a shower. Normally, I would do the opposite. I finished about 15 minutes before 7:00 and signalled to my suster, "To the Batmobile!"

You can just imagine the soundtrack that plays in my head during this time. Tandandanan tandandanan Batman! Batman! Hmmmm.... You must be thinking of me in a spandex suit right now. Sorry, but I was in my right mind this morning to wear my underwear first before my pants.

Anyway, we reached the highway and saw a long queue of cars that were at a standstill. This could not be good. Apparently, there was an accident in the highway this morning. A trailer crashed onto something and was practically occupying two of the three-lane highway. After that, it was just a chain reaction of traffic jams throughout the Metro.

When it rains, it pours, so they say. And yup, it did rain this morning. But it did not pour hard. What poured over was my fury over some traffic aides and policemen who stalled traffic further. About 20 minutes away from the office, I had to endure the worst morning traffic I have ever encountered in one of the main thoroughfares of the city where I work in. It would normally take me about 5 minutes to get to the office from where I was stuck awhile ago, but no! These horrible creations belonging to the animal kingdom who disguise themselves as humans in traffic aide and police uniforms are causing much more traffic, contrary to what they were supposed to do, which is direct traffic to help ease its flow. They were not following the traffic lights and, even we had the green light, we were still stalled. The opposite lane is still going, and going, and going, and going.... you get what I mean.

What is the use of those traffic lights anyway if they are only to be overridden by some low-life nincampoops who claim to know more about synchronizing traffic than the tried-and-tested, synchornized, fully functional and very much efficient traffic lights that the government has invested heavily upon? And they are being paid for being such imbeciles! And here's another kicker. There were four of them in an intersection. Only one was directing traffic while the three others were just in one corner, talking and laughing their hearts out. They should be apprehended for delaying the lives of people, which results to delayed transactions, which leads to failed deals, which messes up a company's growth potential, ultimately killing the economy! But who will apprehend them? They can't apprehend themselves.

Well, that is a job for me! Coz' I'm Batman!

Robin, to the Batcave!

Here's something for all you low-lying scumbags of society! Pow! Whack! Kaboom! Pok! Kablam!
