And have i exulted yet about my new commute? 15 miles along a single freeway with both starting and ending points within a half block of the ramp. Not only that but going to work at least seems to be against the general traffic flow, and it's taken me about 20 minutes to get to work the last two days. Had my alarm set this morning for 6 and i was at work at 8, even with the stop at del taco to get breakfast thrown in :)
The only (incredibly minor) problem is that the commute is so short that when i get to work my hair is still damp =P
