What Made you Smile/What Ticked you off Today?

[Ack]

Some people take a two hour commute to work. I don't know of many people who are lucky enough to have a commute that is less than an hour. Not sure if you realize it or not, and I say this with no malice, but you could have simply posted "Excuses, excuses" for your last few posts in this thread. Time to grow up man.

I am lucky enough to have a commute that is less than an hour. It's generally 20 minutes, though that is strictly because I live right next to an Interstate exit, and my job is three miles north and right off another Interstate exit. The trip normally takes 5 minutes to make, but traffic quadruples the experience.

Before I lived where I do now, I had a commute of an hour and a half one way. I would wake up at 5:30am, get ready for the day, and be in the car by 6:30 am. I would arrive about 8:00am, work until 6:00pm, and then head home, getting back around 8:30 - 9:00pm. That sucked, so I saved my money for several months so I could get an apartment in the city.

but don't expect anymore sympathy from me

Reminded me of Major Payne.

"You get no sympathy from me. You want sympathy, look in the dictionary between shit and syphilis. That's where you'll find my sympathy!"

"You want me to show you a little trick to take your mind off that pain?"

I love that dumb movie so much.

In ROTC in high school, we watched that movie once a week. I used to be able to quote it verbatim.

My commute is about 27 minutes, which is considered very long in these parts. I continue to live in this area intentionally.

That said...i've been or the Kissimmee-Orlando area quite a few times. That city is designed well and you can be ANYWHERE in an hour. You can be to either coast in 75 minutes.

There is also a "career station" in many of the disney parks where you can apply for jobs. Those places have incredible turnover, I can't imagine with any sticktuitiveness you couldn't land a job in short order.

Surely there must be side streets/local access roads that you can mostly take and only use the highway for very small portions of the trip (e.g, cutting through business parking lots). Get on the bike and explore the area, learn the short cuts. Look at maps.google.com for potential routes.

At some point, all there is that I can ride on is the highway. No bike paths, no side streets, no parking lots, no local access roads. And some parts of the highway don't have a "side of the road" area since it passes over a creek. Unless you're genuinely in the area OR you go Street View on the area in Google Maps, then you can't really say otherwise. But I've done both, so trust me.

Plus, like I said, it's an HOUR-LONG BUS RIDE, so it'll take even longer on bike, especially since there are no bike lanes on the 192.

And plus, a huge chunk of the area isn't really bike-friendly, since you don't see pedestrian lanes until you get around where Target is.

Found these for you my man. Looks like you need them far more than me.

Smile: Definitely setting this game up for tonight:



I'm hoping that a Dollar Store sells the Glow necklaces, but if not I'm sure Toy's R Us or Wal-Mart does. The weather is "poyfect" for outdoor nighttime games.

Frown/Smirk: Just hit "Reply All" to a message that didn't need a reply all, one of the recipients on the e-mail string was a DL for the entire company. LAME! I put smirk, because that's just life sometimes, haha.

That's an awesome idea!
