Hurry Up and Wait

Here is my life. Hurry up and wait. Rush. Rush. Rush. Try not to wreck your car. Yesterday I nearly had a heart attack. I was the fifth car off the exit ramp. My meeting was right around the corner. I could have walked from here, but we were stuck. Looking at a GREEN LIGHT four times in a row. Every time it turned yellow and red I screamed. In frustration. Wait. Wait. Wait. Some cars tried to pull around me. Where did they think they were going? We were facing a line of cars that did not move. At the fifth green light we edged forward a few inches. Bam. Stopped again. I could not yet see the men with machines adding oil to the road. I was frustrated beyond belief. I have never sat at a stoplight watching It turn green four times in my life. But I have now.
