trials and tribulatoins of a LI'er stuck in Jersey

Well I decided to share how much i hate jersey. I have never gotten lost so many times in the matter of a week and a half. In addition i think in the past 8 days here I have made close to over 150 uturns!

It just seems where ever I go i get lost. Not to mention my office are in the most obscure locations.

In any case ive seen alot of 8s here..

saw one today during lunch by Friendlys on South Rd in New Providence/Murray Hill. Blue.

unfortunatly 97 civics didnt come with navi as an option!!!

so to add to my misery, as i was driving 22west today to the 287, I accidently went onto the 287 north when i meant to go 287 south!!!! Thanks of course to the huge Yukon which did a great job at blocking all the signs.

So in order to make a uturn I had to drive 12 miles outta the way.. when had i not mad the mistake home was 4 miles away!!!!!

1.5 more weeks!!!

here this should help

So what's wrong with having to make a right turn to go left?

Love Boston - just don't drive while I am there. Use mass transportation or this:
