Jesse, get rid of the shoes you should.
Yeah, yeah. Maybe I can continue the building give-away we've had going on for the past week or so. Someone must be clearing out their apartment, because one day it was a pile of books, one day it was video tapes, another day dishes, etc.
Provided we don't have problems (like drawbridges getting stuck in the upright position), the commuter train from Salem to Boston is faster than driving even if there wasn't rush hour to deal with. Rush hour on Route 128? You couldn't PAY me enough to make that drive every day.
you will have new space in a closet. it's a good thing.
I prefer the approx one hour train and bus-or-walk commute to the 25 minute drive commute. Probably because I can shut my brain off if I'm not driving.
Mine is a 15 minute walk to and from the train, a half hour on the train, and a 10 minute walk to and from work. Add in 5-10 minutes for waiting around and it's just about an hour each way, give or take a few minutes.
It used to be closer to an hour and a half, but both my work and I moved closer to the train on each end.
I always just assumed shoes lived by the door.
You mean they don't?
Even if you have a shoe rack to put them near on?
Yeah, my 45 minute commute is fine, but only because it's not in a car. I think driving that long each way every day would not be good for my sanity.
I'm actually looking forward to my commute next week when I go back to work because I'll finally be able to start listening to all my podcasts again!
Mine is a ~25 minute drive in non-downtown city traffic. Having done friends' 30 minute by interstate commutes a couple of times, I much prefer the stoplights and idiots of my commute to their 70 mph and idiots. Plus, my alternate routes ? Take about the same amount of time, whereas theirs turn into these incredible hourplus slogs.
about 5 pairs of my shoes live near my bedroom door. the rest of the casual shoes live in one closet in a combo of hanging storage and boxes, dress shoes live in the other closet in boxes.
