    ...Traffic was a nightmare today. Interview in blackrock. Took 2hrs and 40 minutes to drive 7 miles. at some stage on pearse street the traffic started moving. Anyone move any slower. First 5 miles took 2 hours and 15 minutes.
    I am home a little over an hour staring at the tv trying to get the energy to go to bed.

    I was going from ballycoolin but yes. All things considered it would have been quicker. You would get to Derry quicker.

    Wasn't the car. Traffic chaos every inch of the way form a little after. 5 last 2 mile in 20 minutes you expect city traffic the rest.

    Problem was coming back. 45-50 from the ballycoolin road out was not too bad. Especially since the gps pushed me out throught phibsborough.

    I could drive from my house in Sligo and be parked up outside the building in Blackrock in less than 2 hours 40 minutes. I'd have enough time left over to prepare for the interview and steal the job out from under you.

    Get a motorbike. Quickly, before someone steals your job.
