traffic nightmare...

today as i left work i got to the stop light to take my usual route (arrowwood to 77) and traffic is backed up both ways. no problem, i think to myself. i'll just take it easy til i can hop on 77N and it'll be smooth sailing...wrong! i finally get on 77 and traffic is standing still. i can't see what's going on, but here in charlotte standstill traffic is the norm. so i see this state trooper rolling down the median and think uh-oh, what have the idiot drivers done today. i started flipping through radio stations trying to find a traffic report...bingo, found one. i find out that on one side of 77 (south, which i take in the morning to work) someone had a severe case of road rage and fired shots...on my side there was serious accident and i believe 1 person was killed.

now on my way home i didn't think to much of it. but as i finally pulled up to my apt complex, it dawned on me, that i could've been in the accident or in the line of fire. i say that because today i left later than i planned to, i had planned to leave at 4:15-4:30 but i wanted to clear my inbox out and help out a co-worker with some of her stuff. god is so good, because had i left any earlier that could have been me in that accident or shot! all i can remember is fussing at work that i was ready to go home and the people i work with were getting on my nerves because they kept calling me. well, there was a reason behind all the madness and it kept me safe, protected, and out of harms way.
