You know what gives me perspective in life?
Rush hour traffic.
I’ve worked from home full-time for geez… 12+ years. That’s afforded me a great many things in life, but it’s also come with its own costs and sacrifices. In the end tho, it works out with more in the plus column.
One of those pluses is that I’m not trapped in a car for 2+ hours a day driving to/from work.
So when I have to go about town and get caught in rush hour traffic, it always provides me with perspective… a reminder of what I don’t have, and what I do have.
On this day of Thanksgiving, I’m thankful for the life I have. No, it’s not perfect, but it’s more than I expected I’d ever have.
If you drove a decent car Rush Hour wouldn’t be so bad. 🙂
My 2.5 mile commute isn’t too bad.
Plus, when you’re working on diesel pickup trucks all the time you can’t take work home with you.
I’m renewing my car search… in the end, I just want a truck. Trouble is, every setup I want is too freakin’ expensive. *sigh*
