Today is my coding day. You know, MMDA’s futile and short-sighted attempt at reducing traffic in the metropolis. I wanted to be at the office early so I left home early. It was smooth going all the way till I ran smack into the congestion called Ortigas. I was stuck there for over half an hour. The minutes ticked by. Soon it was already way past 7 and and I was still stuck. As I crawled through the congestion, I tried to hide my plate number by staying close to the vehicle in front. But as luck would have it, I ended up being the last vehicle through the traffic light. Worse, I got stuck in the middle of the intersection with my rear plate exposed. Soon enough, one of the blue boys walked up and knocked on my window. Good thing he let me go when I explained I just got stuck in the congestion and that I’m just on the way to the office of a government agency which the company shares the building with. Talk about [agency] name dropping. Whew!
UPDATE: Learned it’s the first day of classes. No wonder traffic was horrible.
