Believe it or not, on first glance, this particular 30 Day Blogging list seemed to be the most interesting one.  However, I’m finding this as another boring question.

I actually just typed several paragraphs bitching about my underemployment status and how I’m nowhere close to where I want in any kind of career plan.  But I deleted it.  Because it’s boring, and no one wants to listen to me bitch.

If I’m going to bitch, it’s going to be about something worthwhile, and not self-pity.

Although I do tend to drown myself in self-pity every once in awhile.  It’s an Aquarian attribute.

Soooooooo my commute.

It’s a little longer than most people around here would like.

See, I grew up in the country, and you had to drive at least fifteen minutes to get to the grocery store, or a pizza, or a gas station.  Over thirty minutes to go to a mall or a decent theater.  A bit of a drive was not a big deal to me.

Then I moved to St. Louis years later, and it takes 45 minutes to get ANYWHERE in that city.  Traffic is terrible.  There are four or five major roads going East/West in the STL area, and only one that goes straight North/South.  Seriously.  Look at a map.

So then I move here, and wind up in the country, and it’s about a 40 minute drive to downtown Nashville.  I think this is an awesome commute.  No one in the area agrees with me.  If it’s more than ten minutes away, Nashvillians start to whine.  I was at work one day, and a co-worker was whining he had to go to the bank ALL THE WAY ACROSS TOWN.  I was like, “Dude.  It’s fifteen minutes away.”  I got a rude glance in the middle of a short pause, and then his whining commenced.  No one liked me at that job.  The place is closed now.

Oh wow, I did wind up with some bitching about former jobs thrown in here.  I think this Pisces New Moon is making me cranky.

See you at Day 14.
