Working in downtown Atlanta has its advantages. I can walk to many yummy restaurants. My building is right behind one of the most beautiful theaters in the country so I can take in a Broadway show, concert, or comedic act any time I want. I can ride mass transit at a discounted rate and save money on gas and wear & tear on my car. I can go up to the 32nd floor of my building and see a breathtaking view of the city along with miles and miles of Georgia landscape -- from Kennesaw Mountain to Stone Mountain. It is beautiful.
But what I can't stand are the stupid people that DRIVE through downtown. Or at least the ones that don't pay attention to pedestrians. And especially the one idiotic gray-haired gentleman in the dark blue Jeep Cherokee that DIDN'T stop at the stop sign and nearly mowed me down on my way to lunch yesterday.
Something in my head told me to not take that initial step across the street. And thank heavens I didn't!
But you know what REALLY pisses me off? I pointed to the stop sign as he flew passed me -- and he gave ME the finger!!!
I think I'll stay in my building today and not venture out...
Zesty.
