something’s gotta give.

it took me two hours to get home last night. i left alpharetta at 4pm and didn’t get to my house until after 6 pm. it’s been horrible all week and each commute home has been worse and worse on my mood.

it’s really the evening drive that kills me. first, it’s longer – sometimes double the time of the morning commute – but i think it just has so much more to do with mindset. i’ve been sitting at my desk all day and all i really want to do is relax. now driving can be that, but not the kind of driving that happens from the tollbooth on ga 400 to i-20 in the evening.

so i did some searching on the marta web site and i think i can get to my office in about 90 minutes each way by taking two trains and a bus. it’s certainly not ideal, but at least i won’t be behind the wheel and i will have the opportunity to read a book or something while someone else drives.

i’m going to give it a dry run on monday.

we’ll see what happens.

and no, for the record, i am not ‘going green.’ this is all about my convenience.
