...and we're back to @#$#@^%

FUCKING PENNSYLVANIA! None of the streets/intersections are labeled. You can be driving for 30 minutes and not actually know what street you're on. (That isn't just PA either, it's pretty much every place outside of NYC.) A 17 mile, 30 minute trip took me 2 hours. I've seen parts of McKeesport that no one should ever see. I've talked to more gas station attendants than I care to. That's my new hobby, stopping at every gas station.

I was an hour late to my seminar tonight, and I got lost AGAIN on the way back. This time I stopped at a gas station after only 5 minutes on an unmarked road. VERY fortunately, the station owner was leaving and going in my direction, so he told me to follow him back. He got me probably 1/2 way home and then gave me directions for the rest of the way. Of course then I get off at the Oakland highway exit and I had no idea where in Oakland I was! Again, fortunately, the Pitt tower is the tallest thing around, so I just followed it like a beacon.

I FUCKING hate driving. Not because I can't, but because I hate going to new places and getting lost and driving in circles. I hate it with a passion. All streets should be labeled and/or in alphabetical order, so even if you only catch the street name every 10 minutes, you'll at least have the satisfaction of knowing if you're going in the right direction.

FUCK!
