I think I need a to take a break from commuting--or at a minimum, take a vacation from work.

I've chewed out 3 drivers in 2 days. The first one and the third one deserved it; the 2nd one was because I over-reacted.

But the reason I think I need a break is that I'm starting to be angry nearly the entire ride and expecting drivers to do stupid, dangerous, or mean/aggressive stuff. The cynics and pessimists here would probably say I should expect this behavior, because that's what many drivers do.

Part of my anger might be stress; been busy as heck at work lately (normally my job is boring), my wife is expecting our first child, and I haven't been sleeping well.

I need to find the joy in riding in to work again.

Thanks for letting me vent. Now back to your regularly scheduled broadcast.
