You thought your commute was bad

I was investigating the different ways I could get to work in our new office if not by driving. My choices would be to drive through traffic where I would probably sit and think “I might as well be in LA right now” or to take readily available public transportation, where I could park my ass on a seat and just keep on wagontraining until I got to the office (and save the environment even though I already drive a Prius).

Now, I was thinking in most cases that I would get off said train, take a short walk to the office, and get myself some exercise while I’m at it. Unfortunately, Google Maps had something else in mind, as these are the walking directions they gave me:

Apparently after driving to the train station, and riding said train, I’m supposed to walk to the freeway, dodge cars while running across, and then swim across a body of water to get to work. I suppose on the days I’d rather die than go to work I could choose to throw myself across the train tracks, purposely get hit by a car, or tie cement blocks to my feet before my swim. The choices, the choices.

I find it funny that you now work on Airport Boulevard, as if your life wasn’t sad enough.

Duh. Jet-pack.

Wait wait wait.

You moved back north??

I love how Dennis had to contemplate that map before he realized that 101 said “Bayshore Freeway”

Not yet, but will be back in August. Hence me asking if I could live with Millie. Keep NYC in check for me for when I return from my life travels.
