A little driving?

So today I drove to the office for the first time; what an experience. First, I need a 101 in entering Malaysian addresses into my new GPS. After heading out and becoming completely confused I humbled myself (after driving aimlessly for a long, long time) and called one of my coworkers. With his considerable help, about half an hour on the phone, he coached me into the office. To my credit, or shame, the roads in KL remind me of San Antonio. There are lot's and lot's of circles, but the rough part is that they have circles and circles connected by swirvy, curly roads that end without reason or drive you into the side of a building - no lie! I was staying in the left lane playing it cool as I approached an on-ramp. Cars were merging onto the highway as normal and at my designated time I allowed the cursory car onto the highway and then proceeded forward. This however was not to the liking of the car behind the one I let in. This particular car decided he or she needed to get in front of me so they proceeded to drive onto the shoulder and nose into my lane. While I'm not sure, I believe the car was also driving on the grass. Regardless, this made me very mad and I decided to act Malaysian, not look at the car or driver and proceed to speed up and give the car in front of me a 'car wedgie', not allowing the usurper to advance.


Once at work I settled into my new desk. It's so strange being in an office. I had had enough at about lunch, excused myself, and headed back to the hotel to enjoy Rachel and the kids. Sunday I'm flying to attend meetings and figured this gave me the accuse to leave the office early (hopefully).
