I was late for a meeting this morning and couldn't get gas when it was $2.79.
Now it's $2.99. I know the gas prices have been rising for a few years, but today was the first day I felt anxious about them. And the last few weeks are the first time in my life I remember shifting plans because of gas prices. Hurricane Katrina, gas prices, terrorism, Iraq war...it's a lot to think about right now.
On top of all this, Wendy's didn't have salt packets because the manager forgot to order more.
