Great News!

I don't like talking about major life events while said events are still in process and are not yet a done deal. Call me crazy, but I don't want my plans to be jinxed. And, I don't want to have to give long explanations to everybody if my awesome plans do not work out quite as well as I want them to, which is often the case. That is why I have not mentioned my new, awesome, amazing, super cool job until now. I started working recently and it is time you knew, blog folk, that I have a new job and I am super happy. I am especially happy about my commute, which is a grand total of 13 minutes. 13 MINUTES! It doesn't get much better than that in the bay area, especially if you consider peak traffic times. According to Payscale, people in the bay area usually commute around 25 minutes to get to work.

I really do believe there is an inverse relationship between time spent in the car commuting and quality of life, where your quality of life increases as  your commute-time (and thus time spent in traffic jams) decreases. My old work commute was well over half an hour; my new job is a major improvement in that area. Yay!
