I Found My Commute
Finally, I found the best way to get to the city and back.
The 8am bus from town to the 8:33, 8:48 or 8:58 train to GCS. The train time depends on bus traffic over the Tappan Zee. We caught the 8:33 today with a little hustle.
I'm not sure how long I can keep this up. Being in a car or bus is maddening in traffic. I don't seem to mind if the train gets delayed - but traffic. phew.
Work is slow. It's silly for me to quit. They are supposed to close the NY office soon. They just are not telling me when. Being on the train makes you think. Today I figured out that my husband is the kind of person who does a lot of things. That's why he has a PhD in astrophysics, renovates a kitchen or bathroom himself, has many hobbies, and generally gets things done. I on the other hand do only what I what to do - the least amount of work for the most gain. For example, I was an A student in Math, Science and History. I didn't have to study because I had great teachers. I wasn't great at English. Bad teachers.
Again in college - Political Science with great teachers.
In my work life it's pretty much the same. I enjoy going on interviews because I learn new stuff and get to talk about myself. I get the job 50% of the time. If I like the boss, I will bring in enough business to pay my teams salaries and overhead and 30% profit. I'm that good. Right now at work I'm just waiting it out. The boss is never here and is probably delivering 70% profit. I sort of think that is stealing. He fired everyone here and I'm doing their jobs. I could bring in more business using my 3/3 rule, but there is no direct benefit to me.
So I'm just cruising. Pushing paper, offering opinions, getting paid. But the commute is so ....
