So I’ve lived here for just shy of 3 years. You’d think I’d know the area enough to NOT GET LOST. Technically, I wasn’t lost, per se, I just didn’t know a short-cut to get from point A to point B. Confused? Lemme ‘splain…

1. Drop Mike off at 50 & George Mason


2. Proceed down 50 and manage to miss the Washington Blvd turnoff


3. End up in Rosslyn only to miss the 110 exit.


4. Narrowly escape a trip through Georgetown & M Street only to take some weird expressway past the Kennedy Center


5. Cut off by F’ing Mercedes and miss first exit to 66 West


6. End up on 19th and Constitution and manage to get on 66


7. Take wrong exit and end up GW Parkway NORTH NORTH FUCKING NORTH!!!!


8. Turn around at Spout Run Parkway, only to get stuck in gridlocked GW Parkway traffic


9. Exit off Parkway at Pentagon & Hwy27 thinking its a shortcut


10. Its Not


11. Drive around Pentagon and end up on Columbia Pike…not more than 1 mile from where I dropped Mike off 30 MINUTES EARLIER!


12. End up taking Glebe Road to work anyway


13. Arrive at work 40 minutes later, vow to learn side streets in Arlington

If you don’t get it, you don’t live here. I’ll draw a little map for you. It was UUUUUUUUUGLY!

Argh.
