Road Construction Ugh

Nothing annoying is going to bother me today. It is the perfect weather, the sun is shining. The cardinals are trilling, the violets are waving. I'm ready to embark on my four hour trip. Uh-oh. Three lines of cars are stopped. A blinking sign says delays. Okay. I can handle this. No problem. New blinking sign; it says lane closures. I feel a little bit irritated when I drive over six orange cones. I am waiting now for the world's slowest pouring cement mixer. I try not to take my eyes off the road as I watch it pour the slow moving stuff. An overweight flag man attempts to stop me. This infuriates me. I drive around him and go faster. I see a sign that says ten thousand dollar fine for speeding in a work zone. Highway patrolmen are chasing me now. Road construction. I hate it so! Worst dream ever
