Tempted to do it again tonight! 
LOST is on tonight which always makes for a good evening. Just ordered a SRI for my car. Can wait to get that puppy!! 
I have been their only music teacher for 5 years and it's amazing to see how much they have grown (physically, musically and emotionally).
What does that mean exactly?
Awesome.
i sold my car yesterday! now am actually considering not buying another one and doing Zipcar instead. will make a separate thread.
last night and tonight i had/have rehearsals 22 miles from home for a weekend gig. i don't like to drive in rush hour, don't like to pay for gas, and should be minimizing use of the car now that it's sold (but not shipped yet -- it's headed to Alberta via Montana), so did a e-bike/bus/e-bike commute down there. takes me at least 1.5 hrs in total vs. 60 minutes in traffic (30 min if at midnight), but that's an acceptable compromise for me in return for being free and clean.
My company ships hazardous goods for the medical industry world-wide so we're subject to the laws of the FAA. They like to walk in to give you surprise audits to make sure we're following regulations.
i trust that you've actually crunched the numbers for gas, maintenance, insurance, and depreciation and it came out in favor of living far away for the nominally higher wage?
Yep...for the modest house we have now, I could not touch anything within 20-25 miles of work for under 500,000., and after doing the number crunch, it was a no-brainer.
tonight, gonna see An*l C*nt and Kilslug.
seth and larry lifeless...both back to life.
and you accounted for the lost hours of your life spent commuting in the car? no way that you could swing a condo or apartment in town? maybe my perspective on things was warped by growing up in manhattan, but i would hate to have to drive an hour+ each day in the best of conditions, let alone in commuter traffic.
Ahh.
I hear ya. We're subject to the TSA also so I get them in here a couple times a year. Luckily the people I see are more professional than the punks you have to pass through when you're boarding a plane.Ahh.
We get an audit of sorts just about every week here.
We ship grapevines all over north America so we have county ag inspectors in here once a week at this time of year to inspect the plants before shipping. They issue state and federal phytosanitary certificates.
We had a blanket inspection a couple weeks ago for light brown apple moth (LBAM). We passed but it's only a matter of time before we will have to have every single shipment inspected no matter where it is going.
Considering some days in peak season I ship 50,000 vines or more.....ugh.
Here's a nugget song title!
