The Up Side to the Recession
Have you noticed that your commute time is shorter?
I’ve never been blessed with a short commute. It’s always been about an hour. Living in central New Jersey my door to door commute is now one hour ten minutes on a good day. Anyone that commutes regularly knows that there are very few good days. With work being a bit slow now I usually get to leave pretty close to 5 PM. In the old days I was never out of the office before 6 and then often not home until 7:30.
Yesterday I was out the door at 5 exactly. I boarded a half empty bus at 5:10 and was inside my door and flopped on the couch by 6 PM. My 70 plus minute commute had shrunk by ten minutes.
Is this a trend? The folks that have lost their jobs have my sympathy but I am sure enjoying the speedier ride and additional legroom.

I actually have options in the morning on my train ride on where I should sit. This has never happened to me in my entire 10 yrs of living in New York!!!
I am a future mother and me always someone give a place in a bus. Did not happen that I can not getting to the transport because of the home to work I use the bus which goes every two minutes.
I love your positive attitude. Never lose that, it makes the world better.
