I have gained an hour of sleep (or puppy play time) and feel like I got a pay raise with what I save in gas and car maintenence. Hold out for the job that suits you best. There is no sense in working just to pay for gas! |
Sounds wonderful! I so agree. It is such a different quality of life to not spend hours a week on the road in traffic and have all that time to live.
