Atlanta's great but the traffic is horrible

That is probably the most common and over-used phrase I've heard since I found out I was moving to Atlanta. It's not that I was in disbelief about this epic traffic I'd heard of, but I did have to question how bad it really was. I mean southeastern Michigan, while not known for their traffic, has ridiculous amounts of construction. I kid you not, I really thought there might have been a conspiracy against me trying to get the to places I needed to go using the easiest way because every time I moved the construction followed me!

Anyway, I got stuck in the epic traffic today at the worse time possible. My wonderful neighbor friends, specifically the lady friend, had invited me to go to the cardio class our apartment complex was putting on and I was all amped to go. Now, I have actually gotten very accustomed to the drive between my hotel and my new apartment and it takes max... 10 minutes. Well, little did I realize that the entire working population surround the Perimeter area works the 9-6 schedule... FML. I would have been right on time even early if I had fallen victim to the cluster-fuck that was the traffic situation from the parking structure of my hotel through the main road I had to use to get there.

Well, I actually managed to get there right on time. But I was talking to my mom on my cell and missed the text from my friend correcting the location of the class. Well again, would have been fine, I have no shame in showing up late... but apparently in my rush to get on the road I neglected to snatch my access card so I couldn't even get into any of the work-out centers even if I wanted to.

Conclusion: I'm awesome.
