5:45 am Wake Up
is anyone else up at this ungodly time? i had to get up super duper early to beat the morning rush hour cuz i commute from markham to downtown (driving). although, there was already bumper to bumper traffic on the 404/dvp at 6:55 am when i got on...so crazy. i usually come in later and then leave late, but had to come in early cuz i needed to get a crap load of experiments done today. i so tires...
traffic has gotten so bad over the past yr and a half. i didnt realize it had gotten this bad cuz i was living downtown for just under 2 yrs. even if i leave later, it's still so bad. i hope i dont get a job downtown once i'm out.

Hopefully, he's not an insomniac, or things could be a great deal worse...

Downtown traffic is just terrible! I wish something could be done about it, but its only goin to get worse. I've had so many better jobs offers downtown, but honestly unless they are willing to pay me over 5k more to work down there, then I'd rather stick to the suburb jobs.

lol Im up at 5am for this month. Eat b4 sunrise so I can be set for my fast. And then by the time thats done there is no point of going back to sleep. Grab the Go by 7 from Sauga and hit downtown soon enuff.
Id dont think its a good idea to drive all the way to downtown every day, gas + parking alone is more then GO price. Plus adding Kms to your ride and chances of it getting into an accident bla bla bla.
