I apologise for this post, but I have resisted the temptation so many times recently, and I just lack the strength to fight it today. *do that _too_ *worry about _wandering_ around nervously and _looking_ for it Something like that. Could be phrased better as well, but I’m tired as dogshit today, so I can’t really be bothered.

I never notice these things until the OP points them out! Although I did feel compelled to correct my spelling of "astronaut" in the "business opportunity" thread.

Its still too far. Long commutes really stress me out. I used to take the bus over an hour each way, total nightmare.

I tend to do it at night, around 12-1 AM, when there isn’t any traffic. That way, when I slow down to look at signs, there isn’t the pressure of feeling that I’m slowing down the vehicle behind me. Also, if I get lost, I can do illegal u-turns, back into driveways without feeling like a moron, etc.

Each to their own. I seriously can’t relate to that. You say you feel your life ticking away whilst commuting, surely it can’t be any worse than the phase you’re in now? I mean this staying at home all day doing nothing whilst you look for work thing.

How so? Was it due to awkward seating such as having facing seats?

Crowded tedious monotony as well. Not to mention I cherish my private time at home and don’t want to spend several hours a day just in transit.

Yeah, those facing seats seriously bug me out. Whoever the hell thinks those are good deserves to be made to actually travel on those things. In the evening I’d fold my arms and pretend to be asleep. Chances are whoever’s opposite you would be glad they don’t have to awkwardly avoid eye contact with you. Of course all of this is relieved by driving instead. I can relate to the cherishing private time at home thing, and find driving a highly enjoyable alternative to public transport stress.

It’s much better and doesn’t make me say "awwwww!" every time I see a post. What is it anyway, some kind of Greek god?

It’s a red supergiant star, which, as I remarked to the Mad Mambo Master, I’d name my dog after, if I had one: http://tinyurl.com/9nqza As for what it means? Hmm… [checks wikipedia] Seems it was indeed named after Ares (Mars) because of the similarity in their reddish hue.
