overworked, underpaid, and time in your yaris

[voodoo22]

I spend at least 45 minutes each way in our Yaris on the commute. Thanks to poor drivers it's usually more. 2 hours one way the other day thanks to a tractor trailer that didn't slow down for a merge and over an hour each way the next day because the people around here are literally afraid of rain. I've never seen it, but people here brake for rain! I was passing mercedes, porscheas and BMWs in my econobox going 95-100 because they are afraid of the rain!

They brake for rain here too, so it took me 50 mins to get to work today. I leave plenty of room since most have no idea how to brake effectively. What kills me is that the most terrified ones don't even turn their effing lights on!

I'm also extremely underpaid.. I get paid half of what people doing my job does.. heck could be like I only get 1/4 of what they make for all I know now. I'm working on quitting too and right now it takes me about 15-20 minutes to get to work and then I am usually driving about 3 hours or so on the weekend to various places. But once I move out of the house, I'm going to be doing 45 minute one-way commute to work everyday.

8 to 12 hours a week. My commute just for work is 30 min each way, but I take classes 3 or 4 days a week and then there is flying lessons on the weekend. All 3 of them are at different ends of the compass; go figure!

When it rains in Montreal, people seem to forget how to drive.

It raining here now, so I'm sure there is going to be a ton of taffic tonight going home, even though there has been bearly any traffic all week because of the construction holiday.
