Two complaints about my commute
Well, actually I have about 1,000,000 complaints about my commute, but since we don't have that kind of time, I'll limit myself to just 2.
Complaint #1 -- my MP3 "shuffle" feature doesn't shuffle all that well. It decides it is going to play the songs in the order it chooses, but that order is the exact same EVERY TIME. I get through about 12 songs each way, and it always is the same damn 12 songs in the same order. No matter how many times I skip to the next song, the pattern is EXACTLY the same. And yes, I do have more than 12 songs on my player. Maddening!
Complaint #2 -- the "helpful" traffic indicator sign near the Cumberland exit on the Kennedy. No matter what time of day, what day of the week, what weather conditions are present, the sign reads "14 minutes to 290/53, 29 minutes to the Elgin Toll". Every day. The times never change. There could be a 250 car pileup on the freeway between that spot and the Elgin Toll, and yet it will still only take 29 minutes to get there. Maddening!
