Need to rant.

I'm so godamned tired of my commute. I drive over 50 miles EACH WAY to work.Been doing it for 4 years now and it is gettin' old. Its too expensive to rent or buy in the area I work. On top of that I hate living in California and especially hate living in the Bay Area with disillusioned people. I swear to god I'm tempted just to say the fuck with it and just quit my job and get the hell out of here, move to the sticks, and do my own thing. Nuff said.

 

i feel ya man....i have been doing the same drive for over the last eleven years....50 mile round trip....day in...day out. gets old as hell.

 

Yep. I'm totally wearing out my car and truck doing this commute. We got a "newer" car last year with 50k. Now it has almost 100k. Ridiculous. That and the commute means I spend 2-3 hours everyday sitting in traffic with lots of idiot drivers.

 

yeah....i sit in traffic a lil...mostly when there is a wreck or rubbernecking bullshit going on.....but probably never as bad as ya'lls traffic.

 

OP: well, i wouldnt quit your job right now. especially right now. jobs are hard to come by in a lot of cases. jsut wait it out and then find something better. what line of work are you in?

 

Move to NW Arkansas! I drive 45 miles to work but it's like the best race track, with all the sharp curves and turns.We have idiot drivers too BUT u can just shove them off the mountain They don't find them for weeks!!

 

Iowa...no traffic....nuff said.

I did the traffic thing for 2 years in Phoenix and wanted to kill myself.

 

traffic suckssss but in these economic times i would deff stick it out till you found something different, and when you do....peace it out ha

 

We have hardly any traffic. Hardly any at all.

 

yep mines about 50 miles round trip and i cant stand it. i hate traffic. I was home on leave and it was the best traffic in the world. population 600 and 700 in the town next to it. nearest town is 5000 then the next is 60000(1.5 hour away). i cant wait to get back there. I drive a beater car to work though and let the taco rest at home.

 

I feel ya. I had to commute to L.A. everyday. 50 miles each way. Took me an hour and a half to get there and 2 and a half to get home. And thats with carpool.

 

i feel for ya. i drive 56 miles one way on country roads, though i only work 14 days a month though. still its easy to rack up the miles and it sucks when you think of the time you spend driving could be spent doing this or that. but it pays the bills so i cant complain too much

 

I feel ya...57 miles ONE WAY ...114 roundtrip 5 days a week. I've been doing it for 14.5 years. Want to really make yourself sick? Calculate the hours of drive time you'll have by the time you retire. If I remember correctly after 25 years I would have spent something like 1.5 years just driving!!!!!!
