Don't ever do this -- especially not on the kind of early spring day that smells so optimistic

1. Wake up at 6:30
2. Drive the 50 miles to work
3. Blah blah blah, all day long
4. In between preparing taxes for people, the results of which disappoint them,
5. Get lectured on compassion by a big drunk black man after dutifully reciting the rules to him
6. Don't eat lunch
7. Head out at 5:00, back toward home only to find, almost there, in the left lane, at 70mph, a police car on your rear bumper
8. Switch lanes to let him pass, after which you
9. Pull back in behind him because the right lane is tight and slow moving, but he doesn't like that and so slows down to 60, so you
10. Drop back into the slow lane obediently, but then the cop just stays there hovering next to you, so you
11. Become indignant and let yourself drift forward of him and
12. Receive a $100 speeding ticket effectively dissolving all of today's earnings and half of tomorrow's
13. MAD! MAD! INDIGNANT! MAD!
14. STUPID! STUPID. UNHAPPY.
