Can we talk about something for a minute?

I love my job, I really do. I enjoy having the ability to reach out to the public about something that they care very deeply about. My 30-45 seconds are heartfelt, deeply moving, and I feel like I really "put myself out there". Ok, so SOMETIMES talking about road construction is not overly excitng, but truth be told, I do have fun with what I do. Sometimes I just wish that more exciting things would happen on my watch. I never thought I would (after working at AAA) actually kinda-sorta "hope" for accidents to pop up on my screen.

For example, on Monday I believe it was, there was an overnight accident on the JFK. It involved a car smashing into a couple on a motorcycle (don't worry, everybody involved is still alive). After coming to a stop, the man driving the car promptly got out of vehicle and started running away, while taking off his clothes. "INTERESTING" I thought to myself as I listened to the story. The man was obviously high on a little more than life. I found myself thinking, "why can't that happen at 6:30 in the morning so that I can report on it?" That would be the highlight of my month, by far.

Or maybe something like THIS could happen on the W Dodge Expressway:

I bet Courtney Love was seen fleeing from this scene, shredding clothes as she hobbled down the 101.

I am patiently waiting in anticipation until one of you yay-hoos out there decides to pull some crazy shiznit. Until then, I am stuck talking about the ongoing construction on the 480/75 split. So until that day, in the words of a wise man who once told me....

"Drive fast and take chances!"
