There is something satisfying about giving your employer notice
especially when light dawns on marble head and they realize you have run the place for over a year.

8. Good for you!
I used to commute on a train - loved it. You can read, sleep and have a drink on the way home.

33. Are you going to be able to count some of your commute as work time?
When do you start?

I want to practice giving my notice this year, working graveyards is getting a bit old.

41. Especially now.
I'm looking into work at home jobs. I might have to pick up more than one company but it will be worth it w/ the gas I'll save, the commute time and the babysitting fees.

40. Congrats, Matcom! Will we be reading your name in the newspapers?
I mean, for achievement in your new job, not for being caught in the ladies bathroom with a videocam or anything.
