    I used to have a long commute. At the end of a long day there really is nothing like sparking up a joint, turning on an OAR album and driving the speed limit for over an hour. I think it's good for the soul or something.

    Now I have a 12 minute commute. So I leave work, and within a quarter hour I'm in my living room catching up on what stupid shit the democrats are saying on TV. Not as good for the soul.

    Ugh. Commuting is the worst fucking time sink in life; not that there aren't worse ways to waste time, but just that it's frequency is so high. An hour commute both ways is 10 hours a week of your life spent in traffic, and basically makes your job 10 hours/day instead of 8. Music and a doobie might help, but nothing you can do in a car or on a train can ever truly balance that equation.

    Well if you're Ong, and you were at home, you'd be sitting around smoking a doobie. I'm not sure that driving around smoking a doobie is that big of a step down.

    I generally recommend podcasts and learning a language.

    I was doing that for a while, but then I ran out of languages to learn while I was driving back and forth to work. I've started doing crosswords now. You'd be surprised how easy it is to drive safely while your mind is completely engaged with something else.

    The commutes haven't started yet. I'll be lucky because I'll be passenger and I can smoke... so I can chill the journey. And it's not quite an hour, it's perhaps under 40 minutes on a good day, but you gotta account for traffic, which is dreadful once you hit town at rush hour.

    What will suck about the commute is I'm returning to the town I just fucking left, but like I say, it's a means to an end. Either I'll be working mostly from home by summer, or I'll find other ways to make a living.

    I won't be going back on benefits again, those days are done.

    I'm sure you can appreciate that surviving thanks to the taxpayer is not good for one's sense of self worth.

    And yeah you can't just walk out of your job and claim benefits. You have to argue your position became untenable due to circumstances beyond your reasonable control, for example a cunt of a boss coupled with stress. Throw depression in if needs be. Just don't be stupid and admit you left because work sucks.

    I won't quit though unless I have something else lined up, my new place is amazing and I can't afford it on benefits.
