I started this whole commute thread when I was offered a new job. Actually the commute is much less of a concern than I anticipated. I made an error though, one of my coworkers practices Hinduism I assumed she was from India. Today I find she is from Guyana. I didn’t realize so many residents of India were moved to Guyana back in the day. She schooled me today about racism and the current political strife in Guyana, it was interesting to hear as it’s not much reported on. I think it’s a shame there is so many people suffering in various countries but for whatever reason it isn’t deemed news worthy. Her father left Guyana and was homeless in the US for a period of time but he is solid now. This girl is very nice, I look forward to seeing her on Wednesday we became fast friends. She had an interview at Yale yesterday which she said went quite well. I would be sad to see her go but happy to see her make a positive step career wise, I imagine Yale would be a decent place to work.

I will also add I was almost late today. My alarms went off but for some reason I thought it was Sunday. I shut my alarms off and went back to sleep. I don’t know why I was convinced it was Sunday I’m guessing it was part of a dream.

What do you do on your commute? Listen to music? Catch up on news? Learn via podcasts? Audio books?

Slightly disappointed there's no option for hanging the head out of the window and making overly enthusiastic motorboat sounds while watching the road.

I have serious XM radio which includes the Beatles and Grateful Dead channel but also has 20 or more news channels. Most of the time I catch up on news but on occasion I’ll blast some dead, Beatles, Motown or blues. The jimmy buffet channel is cool as well a lot of reggae but seriously I can make it in a half hour sometimes I was expecting much worse. Now driving around that city is a different story but I use the companies car for that

Since the work from home advisory- my commute is from my bed to my computer desk. about 3-5 steps, depending which foot I start off with. Some people who were commuting 1 1/2 hours- are hoping this last till year's end.
