I am really enjoying my new position at work. I actually look forward to going now.
Good to hear, good to hear. I'm enjoying the hell out of my new position at the second job, but it's quite draining. I am doing what I can to switch to this job, even if I don't get accepted to school in the fall.

Why, oh why do so many people use merge lanes incorrectly? As I understand it, the whole point of a merge lane is to let one adjust one's velocity to prevailing traffic before merging into the next lane. Coming to a screeching halt at the beginning of the merge lane defeats that purpose, and puts one at risk of of being plowed into by the next car in line.
(Why yes, I narrowly avoided an accident this morning, why do you ask?)

Yea, that annoys the hell out of me. That and not using the acceleration lane, to you know, accelerate!
And not leaving space so that the cars can actually zipper, like they are supposed to.

The skirts should be due a revival in 3 or so years, I suspect. Never cared enough about footwear to be any help with that, though.

I think it depends on where you learned to drive. I am new to merge lanes because I don't see them that much where I live, but I do know how to parallel park, which confuses people outside of my part of ny.
That said, I'm VERY glad you are okay..

It depends on where you live. In my experience people who drive the way you describe are either peeled off the driver's side divider (especially on the Jackie Roberson or when merging for tunnels) or get pulled over by the cops for speeding.

I blame paranoia mostly. They're afraid to merge into fast-moving traffic and instead slam on their brakes, inviting an accident from the people in line behind them.

Well polished footwear. Very reflective...

Oh my f%#&ing god... So I'm taking an ancient history class--Babylon up through Egypt, Greece, Rome, and early Islam. The professor's great, a laid-back and sardonic fellow named, I shit you not, Craig C. Champion. On the other hand, my fellow students (I use the term loosely) are a bunch of baboons. Some of the great comments from JUST TODAY:
"Nazis were in Germany, right?"
"Does Chinese come from Proto-Indo-European?"
"Are 'Turkians' Arabs or Asians? I mean, what box do they check for 'race' on the census form?"
"You shouldn't call [early Semitic tribes] Hebrews. That's racist."
"Greece isn't in Europe! It's in Greece!"
And so on and so forth. Idiots.

Asking stupid questions like that does slow the class down so you might not have to cover as much and deadlines might get pushed back. So is it an idiot philabuster. Also recently a professor asked if someone asks a question you will leave one minute early and I asked can you continue because I wanted him to keep going but then he stopped.
