our GPS....

Modern day technology is a pain in the assss!! I want all humans to always keep in mind that we are smarter than even the best robot because we have common sense. I have had a stressful three days with our "awesome" GPS. Day one was great it took us straight to the place i wanted to go, three hour drive to Norfolk, Virginia. The third day was ridiculous! We wanted to go to Wal-mart but the GPS sent us the opposite direction! So we drove around like idiot trying to find it in the shopping center. Oh and for my defence the Wal-mart was hidden....but i dont knwo why the GPS kept on sending us to Ross instead of the Wal-mart. It also doesnt say to turn with enough time, so i am constanly making mistakes and having to make fast action to get into the right lane or i have to turn around and "re-calculate" my direction...You have no idea how tired i am of hearing "re-calculating" ahh!! i feel like scraming each time it says it, especially when i already know where im going or if i decide to stop some where else...drives me mad.The voice on this this is annoying if it atleast had a better voice, and not some gross computer voice it might not be so bad.
and yes incaes you were wondering you can get lost with a GPS....

Virginia

driving blunders....

Yesterday to my surprise my canning partner, that drives left. But the show must go on at least for another two weeks, so who is the appointed driver? Me!

Today was my first day driving in Maryland, first time really diving on the highway, and first time driving with out someone being there telling me what to do. I'm actually a good driver, i was able to drive in and out of the highways, switch lanes and everything, but i now realize that i am a bit directionally impaired, and can't follow directions on a map.
We took about an hour to find a light that was only 25mins away! Later when we ahd to move it took us an hour and a half to find the light that was about 20mins away. We would actually be going the right way, but somthing would make us think that we were going the wrong way to we would turn around, get back on the high way then realize we were going the right way and have to turn around again....or somtimes i was jsut in the wronge lane and it would take me off on an exit, and i would have no room to get on the highway, so i would have to drive down and find a place to turn around so that i could get back on the exit...it was quite stressful. On the way home was pretty bad too, we only messed up twice but both times took alot ot time to fix! In essance, we drove aroudn in circles all day today, but the good that came about was, we were two free chicks! Free to drive where ever we wanted, even though we got lost, free to choose where to go and how to get there, where to stop and on and on! It was so fun, even though we wasted time, it was well worth it. It was a good first day in charge!
