Now I am totally spoiled as my commute just got cut in half and I got an unexpected raise. So what do I know?

I think boiling in a cauldron of bat guano sounds more appealing than sitting in endless, idling LA traffic.
I don't know how people live like that... probably because I'm a walker by nature. The train does make the commute a bit more civilized... but sometimes it's like survival of the fittest trying to jockey for an actual seat within a packed car. It's no joyride if you're standing the whole way, staring into some stranger's armpit.
