And I don't even know what the metaphor MEANS.

Today, I was heading up Michigan Avenue in Milwaukee, ready to get onto the freeway and head back to Madison for the day.  I stopped at a red light, and waited.

And waited.

And waited.

And then this truck pulled up next to me, in the lane to my right, and even before it had come to a complete stop the light turned green and this truck got to just roll on through without even being slowed, really, by the traffic light I'd been sitting at for what seemed forever.

And all I could think was Man, everytime I'm caught in a real-life metaphor, it sucks.
