On a normal day it takes me about 20 minutes to drive to university. 25 minutes if the traffic is really bad. Today it was 2 hours.
There was some accident on the autobahn so everyone had to leave it and take the road I take. It was horrible. I admit, part of it was just me being stupid cause there's one possibility to leave the road at Rottendorf about 5 km away fom where I leave it anyway and I thought about driving there and trying to figure out another way to get to university. But then the traffic got much better till about 50 meters ahead of the slip road everything stopped again. But it was great how calm everybody stayed despite the heat and everything.
And there was this guy walking down the side-strip. I guess he just wanted to see what was going on - or he wanted to find out if he could reach Wuerzburg faster walking than we could driving. Probably'd have won that one. - but something about him just freaked me out and somehow made me realize that I really couldn't drive anywhere neither forward nor backward.

Where is Chris when I really need him to orb me somewhere?

Anyway: I wanted to attend a lecture at 9a.m. and had a rather important meeing for a project at 10a.m. I was 20 minutes late for the meeting.
So I rushed into the building and met my professor there who told me that our client just had left. I really thought I had driven there for nothing. But the prof managed to get our client's daughter on the phone and she promised she'd try to reach her father and after about 5 minutes I saw him walking back into the builing. When I told him about the traffic jam and about how sorry I was he was so nice and like "Oh my gosh! 2 hours? Poor girl." And in the end when we were done he insisted on giving me money for the fuel even after I told him that I didn't drive there just for the meeting but also for the lecture even though I had missed that.
I guess we were really lucky with this project and our client being friendly and really excited about it.
I'll still be happy when this is over after our presentation next wednesday.
