commuting is a bitch

[citroen]

Is anyone else out there classified as an extreme commuter?  I am sitting on the bus right now ready to blow a gasket.  Luckily, there is someone who grooms themself sitting next to me.  He actually smells good.  I waited 1 hr 45 min at South Station for the damn bus to get there.  When it finally did, this dick wad meathead & his girlfriend try to cut in line.  I team up with this trashy woman with a really bad Boston accent & help her throw a few insults over their way.  I\'m going to the Container Store this weekend so I can start packing & get out of this waste.

you could always do what I do - leave for work at 3:30 am. All the drunks are already home by then so the cops never bother you and all the traffic lights are blinking so you can fly down a street in 5 minutes that would take you 3 hours during rush hour. There\'s never any traffic in the morning other than one or two cars and a few trucks on the highways. Also, they let you go home at noon when everyone else is just going on lunch. :biggrin:

Of course, the busses don\'t usually run at that time of day.

I\'m "living with no regrets" after trading in my old 120-mile (round trip) daily trek for a 4-mile commute.  The only problem now is I spend the extra 3-4 hours I previously spent commuting working longer hours at my desk, so I\'m still essentially gone about the same amount each day as before.
