Esther and I spent the weekend watching television and playing pai-gow. The only difference between Friday and Saturday is that it rained on Saturday. Actually, I take that back. I do have a little story to tell you all.
Around 1 a.m, there was heavy traffic on the 110. Apparently there was an accident that was major enough to stop all lanes from going anywhere. So after about 10 mintues of not going anywhere, some idiots started honking. This of course led to a chain reaction of others honking. Honestly, what makes people think honking will help clear up the traffic, especially if there's been an accident? Do they think that the driver will go and say, "yeah you're right. My car isn't that banged up. I'll be out of your way in a minute folks." IDIOTS! On top of that, it was right under the tunnel so of course the sound reverberated throughout the entire underpass. But I digress.
Anyway, traffic was so bad that a taxi driver actually backed his car up all the way off the freeway entrance. Two more cars would do this in the next 20 minutes. At this point, I figured since everyone else is doing it, what harm could it do? So I backed my truck off like everyone did. I tell you, it may sound stupid now but it felt great to get off the freeway after sitting in traffic that wasn't moving for 20 minutes. What a great weekend huh?
In case you're wondering how my job hunt is going, I had a few interviews last week and I might have a few this coming week. However, one is with a company I applied with a few months back so I only wonder if they'll actually take me this time. I need to call this one company back because I really want to work there but the interview didn't go as well as I had hoped. In all honesty, it felt like I was doing most of the talking. The interviewers didn't seem all that interested.
