And just like that I'm about to go from 120 miles/day to about 6. I had an application out to Clean Harbors and they just offered me the job today. A little more than I currently make plus available overtime. It's going to be nice filling up less and not paying any tolls but I'll miss my old job and co-workers who are really close friends. My commute wil be about 1 mile to the highway, 1 mile on the highway and less than a mile to the office. I'm also going to explore back road options and am seriously thinking about a small motorcycle for commuting in warmer months. If I had a place to plug in I'd seriously consider an electric but that's not an option in my apartment complex...but might be at the new office...
