It's a pay cut but job title raise. And instead of an hour and a half commute he'll be 10 minutes away.
I fed off a flowerperson, and I spent the next six hours watchin' my hand move.

Getting back two and a half hours a day is fantastic.

That extra time at home is going to feel like getting a raise. Congratulations!!

And with the shorter commute come a bunch of savings in gas & car depreciation. YOu might even get a slight break on car insurance, because some insurance policies give a break for less car use.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
10 minute commute is awesome!

Our wings are not tired.
Short commute is a huge benefit, worth a whole lot more than $ to me! Congrats!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
That change in commute is huge. Congrats!

Had to take in my care for a flat-repair this weekend and it turned into two new tires. However, it was cheaper than I was expecting and those tires weren't all that far from needing to be replaced anyhow so it wasn't too bad.
Not sure about the future of my car. We were thinking of giving it to my son but he doesn't like driving it much (mostly because it's a manual). There's a chance it'll be a case of "too bad, you're getting a car and you'll get used to it". We could also end up getting him a cheap car and I'll just keep mine. With him working now, it would be a lot easier on everybody for him to have a car. Either way, we're going to be betting on putting a lot more miles on a car that already has 240,000 miles.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Oh lawd, my flight from Chicago is currently delayed an hour, and they just announced that we could also sit on the tarmac for an hour and twenty minutes after that. Then we all got texts telling us it was due to thunderstorms in Texas.
Several people heading to New York had flights canceled and rebooked for tomorrow, but honestly, that might be better than being stuck here forever. (Except I don't mean that I want to be stuck here forever and then have the flight canceled, please do not smite me, travel gods.)
