Mattyv Today is the last day at my current place of employment. My new gig starts on Tuesday of next week. I'm giving my self a 4 day weekend. I am very excited due to the fact that I will be shaving off 30 miles each way of my commute!! I will now be 10 miles from home with no need to hop on a freeway. I did the math and I will be saving 250 hours a year from being in a car. That's 10 days!! As a bonus my new gig will be located less than a mile from one of my go to golf courses! Maybe I can hit the range during my lunch hour.
Sparky That sounds like a good switch! We're about to open a new office 20 miles from my home (current is 55 miles), looking forward to having 1 hour less on the road each day. But the current office does have better access to golf, so it is not all good.
Bankshot Congrats!! I once changed from a 37 mile commute each way to 1.2 miles. The difference in my 'tude was night and day. My office now is a few miles from one of my favorite courses and I go there frequently to chip and putt.
Typhoon Nice Matt! They did the opposite to 95% of us last year at work. Sounds like a good deal for u! Used to be like that for me, now it's the most depressing place on earth to go to.
