Sorry, Pix. Time to invest in more audiobooks?
Well, we may not have parted on the best of terms. I realize certain words were exchanged. Also, certain... bullets. But that's air through the engine. It's past. We're business people.

I'm going to have no life outside of school and driving anymore. It already takes me an hour each way, but now I will have to get up around 5, and in the afternoon...well yeah. The trip home may take me upwards of 2-3 hours, and I'll have to go to bed a couple of hours after I get home. I may have to resign to seek a new job even if I don't get the one I applied to. That's a scary prospect, but I honestly don't know if I have a choice.

I wouldn't do that in this economy.

Spending 5 plus hours a day in my car is not an option for me. I've dealt with 2-3 hours for five years, and I know my limits.

“Not dead yet!”
It is a scary prospect, Pix, but beyond the time constraints, how much are you spending on gas, not to mention the wear and tear on your car? I can't say I blame you for considering resignation as a viable possibility, regardless of the fear factor.
I wish I had a suggestion for you, but I have lots of good thoughts.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I just found two of mac's toys that had been "lost" for months. Also found my missing Netflix movie. YAY. Of course, I had packed them away, so it's my own fault. still missing one Batman toy and a library card.
Off to the PO with an ebay box. STUFF OUT!

Msbelle, so wonderful to hear about Mac's progress!!!
Pix, you're right. That commute is untenable. I really hope you won't have to endure it.

That's horrible Pix.
If you are really considering options, and that's an accurate estimate, I would suggest doing a quick calculation to see how much this effectively reduces your hourly wage. For example, if I had to add 10 hours weekly to my commute, it would mean my pay was being reduced by (roughly) 20%.

Well I get to find out how bad it really is starting Monday, and I have until this Friday to let my school know if I'm renewing my contract or not. Maybe by some miracle it won't be as bad as I think. But I really don't see how that's going to be possible.

In 4 hours, I will be hosting 15 people for a barbeque birthday party for Charlie. I really just want to watch "Friday Night Lights" all day. I stayed up until 3 watching the first 6 eps on Netflix. And there are more episodes waiting for me!!!! This is another series that fell into the school years abyss. I have so much great tv to catch up on from those "I really should be studying" years.
