Hi Kyle,
Have you noticed that traffic seems to be a bit lighter? It might just
be the early am commute but its seems lighter here. Not sure how other
Metro's would be.
My parking space cost - $140.00 a month and I use about $130. In gas a
month now - I too can't use public transportation as I work multiple
jobs and take care of my Mom. We are spending about the same - I do
roughly 26 miles a day, my car sports car takes premium and as its 14
years old - doesn't get the greatest gas mileage. If I can do some
telecommuting - but still have to get to the college to teach - although
some teachers are picking up teaching online classes - to save on gas.

Hey Kat,=20
I know this is a tangent, but since you mentioned work--what's your
commute like to the office now with fuel prices being what they are?
I'm really getting clobbered as I'm using two gallons a day and
$5.00/day for parking. It's costing me thirteen bucks a day just to get
to/from the office.
Some folks in our office are working the 4 days/week cycle like you, and
some are telecommuting from home. Unfortunately, the nature of my job
necessitates my being here 5 days per.
We have really crappy public transportation and no service to the burbs,
so I'm stuck driving.
Kyle

I tried SL once but wasn't impressed - but then I'm not a game player=20
anyway. Maybe if I had more time to do it, I would. As it is, I
work=20
11-12 hours a day for 4 days and then 3 days off for 8 weeks for our=20
summer schedule at work. I'm used to going to bed at 11 and getting
up=20
at 6 but now I'm having to go to bed at 10 and get up at 5. The
three=20
days off are spent in sleeping in, catching up on my chores and catching
up with my friends. I love my job but I'm so tired!
We go back to our 5-day schedule the midst of August - but that'll
just=20
mean I'll work 9 - 10 hours a day without an extra day off. Oh well...!

P.S I spend some of my wee bit of spare time watching foreign films.

Now that I've gotten my cochlear implant optimized, I am interested

listening to non-English speakers and discerning their speech

and maybe learn some new languages. :) K.
PPS - When you respond to an email, please don't quote the entire=20
original message because it makes for very large emails. Most of us are
probably on broadband but I'm sure there are some who still use dialup.
Thanks!
