I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this before, but one of the good things about my job is that my company offers a really great transportation program, with good incentives. Every day that I don’t drive by myself to work I receive a point, and every 25 points I receive a $25 on a refillable gift card that can be used in a variety of places. Plus, after 100 points I would receive a free personal day. I’ve been carpooling with BF, but, in honestly, it doesn’t really save us time or money, since I work pretty much in the opposite direction of where he needs to go. I just do it because it’s easier for me in the morning, and I get points. However, in the interest of saving on gas (not to mention the wear and tear on my car), i have decided to start taking the bus to work. I wasn’t able to find a line that goes directly to my company, but I can get pretty close, and then walk a teeny bit and take a shuttle the rest of the way (which I have to do anyways when I drive by myself). And the best part is that my company gives me the bus tokens! So it won’t cost me anything. at. all. to get to work. Everyone wins. Except that I’ll now need to get my ass out of the house about 30 minutes earlier than I do now, but hey, not that bad, right? I can use that time on the bus to read, or listen to music, or whatever.
