Second!
Don't forget the socially isolating aspects of sitting in a box alone for the duration of the Commutes. Much appreciation, though, for those that pick up hitchhikers.
Think back, if you can, to the days of yore in the Burgh of William Pitt, and you may recall a dreaded pestule of hell called "I-376." You may recall that it intersected another horrible thing called "I-279." Now, some poor souls must use one or the other of these on a daily commute, but only the most damned souls must travel both.
Oh, I thought signing onto this new job I'd simply have to endure this purgatory for a week or two. A week or two has since turned into ten months. The good news, it will end in a month when I move to exurbia. The bad news, I don't know how much of my soul I'll still have by then.
I know of no experience more dehumanizing than driving.
"I know of no experiencing more dehumanizing than driving."
I'm going to put this quote on my wall.
