You, my good sir are... DOING. IT. WRONG.

So I left home for one hour.
Which turned out to be a slightly epic hour.

I got an email from my supervisor saying to see him before he leaves for his holiday.

Fine. I don't mind, he has more surveys for me so all the better.

I jump in my car. The whole way it was making funny noises in the back.
Turns out I forgot to take the balls out when we went to the picnic and there crash-banging everything in the boot.

Fine. That's no biggie.




I drive to get on the motorway.
Fine. Again no biggie.

I get on the motorway, again no biggie.
My Ipod dies. No biggie.
I get towards the split when 2 lanes go off to north and west, and the other 2 lanes go off to town, e.g. Symonds St.
I know it's hard deciding quickly. I know. It's tough to decide which way to go, especially when there are signs telling you how to get there. People don't know which way to go when the lane splits so stops in the middle median to ponder.
STOP on the motorway.

You are doing it wrong.

Ok. So I finally get to uni.
I wander around in an abandoned building known as the Old Choral Hall (first mistake) only to find out that I need to wander in a new, slightly more populated, building known as 'THE GLENN'.

I am doing it wrong.

Lucky I ran into Virginia. It always looks better to wander aimless with another lost soul than by yourself.

So, she leaves me for finding her own supervisor and I walk in the complete wrong direction. Now, the building is big. Really big. A floor is like... a maze. Highly confusing.
I wander some more.
FINALLY, I find my supervisor and discuss everything I need to.
I leave my supervisor, who seems to be the ONLY one working on this floor and head to the elevator.
I decided to explore the building (second mistake) by walking down stairs, only to find that stairs stop at the 2nd floor, so I want to take lift down 1 floor, the 'ground floor' (third mistake).
I press button and nothing happened for 5 minutes. Lights all flash up, but nothing happens

I decided to walk up one floor and take the lift down 2 floors.
It works.
Funny thing was it stopped on EVERY floor down. Old dude with me in the lift got annoyed and was joking about pressing all the buttons, which he did.

You and I are doing it wrong.

I get out of the maze/hell hole/dungeon called 'THE GLENN' and go to my car.
Waiting at the lights (fourth mistake), a huge truck drove by spreading its copious amounts of dust and crud around.
Dust killed my eyes.
I drive and try to forget.

Ok, so I hate traffic and try profusely to avoid it.
This time I decided against going on the motorway as it was pretty bad traffic jam (fifth mistake).
So I go along Grafton.
An old man decided to JUST jump out when the lights went green for us to go but I avoided manslaughter. He was crazy.

You are doing it wrong.

There's traffic still. People are setting up for Christmas in the Park and it is to be expected.
I thought I would go down street that is perpendicular with T-mart, the one with the railway tracks (sixth mistake).
ROAD WAS CLOSED... just along the tracks....
All this time, I had been following a cop car from Grafton.

You and I are doing it wrong.

I came out behind the cinema to go roundabout which is also behind the cinema and along the road with T-mart and hopefully out onto Kyber Pass (seventh mistake).
I wanted to turn left onto Kyber and the guy next to me wanted to turn right.
He fails.
He was halfway out but not moving.

You are doing it wrong.

Broadway was surprisingly uneventful.
I decide to go along Manukau road (eighth mistake).
At every intersection, noone would give way to turning traffic.
People got angry who wanted to turn, obviously.
There was even a person driving on the wrong side of the road.

You are all doing it wrong.

I sometimes feel that taxis are the scourge of the driving world.
They did no disappoint me today.
This taxi changed into my lane JUST on an intersection, blocking every lane.

You are SERIOUSLY doing it wrong.

Ok, so who runs the traffic lights? I don't know, coz whoever does was seriously doing it wrong today. Major intersection, Greenlane West and Manukau roads lights were out.

SERIOUSLY, wtf. You are soooo doing it wrong.

Actually, I came across the first person who was doing it right.
The cop who was directing the traffic.

Afterwards I slowly made my way home.

Wow, thats a long rant about my mistake-laden day.
All this in an hour. What a play-by-play account.
I think this might be my record post. It's long and boring.

Both records in their own right.







Bah, people annoy me.
Sorry for the long post.
