Early rush hour
I spent two and a half hours on the road this morning. Due to the typhoon
Sepat and the delayed suspension of classes, what would normally be a free-flowing noontime ride from my home to Ortigas was hellish. It was madness how everyone seemed to be using the same route I had taken to go to the gym. Apparently, kids were on their way home from school. Also government offices and a number of other companies closed after lunchtime, so everyone was out and about. I got a taste of an early rush hour.
By the time I arrived at the gym, my butt was sore, left leg numb from stepping on the clutch and head steaming in utter disgust at Philippine driving etiquette (if there is such a thing). I had just about enough time to break a little sweat before rushing to prepare for work.
Thank goodness this was just a freak occassion and that normally, being in the midshift allows me to avoid rush hour traffic.
