I've been absent for a while
Posted by mminnick 9 years, 11 months ago to The Gulch: General
For those of you who missed me (more than one or two I hope) there is a simple reason. I finally got a new job. I was out of work for about 6 months and finally landed a good job. The trouble is I have to commute to NYC every day. That's about 2.5 hors each way.
I' trying to get back in the rhythm of posting, but the only time I'm going to have for a while is the week end. I'll try to make my posts interesting and timely, but there is no guarantee of that. some of you probably think they never were. Be that as I may, my posts should start appearing again this week end.
I'm happy to be back. I missed the chatter and stimulating conversation.

Post as you can - and congrats [I think] on the new job. [The "I think" is because is believe firmly that If there were to be a hell, it would be New York and its environs.]
Not defending NY, as it isn't a favorite place any more. I really enjoyed it about 30 years ago, but that apple just isn't enjoyable as it was then.
Congrats on getting the job, Michael. Hope it works out well.
Good luck to you and stay healthy! Being responsible can be a tough road.
It's good to have a job, even under such circumstances. Good luck.
If driving audio books are good, they also help to reduce the tension.
By train, take a newspaper, e-book, or magazine. If you have to stand, bad luck, some people manage to catch up on sleep on trains, take care not to miss your stop.
By bus, often bad for concentration but try a book or e-book and headphones to shut out the noise.
Michael, I recall you have made some intelligent comments here, I do not know your abilities but I knew a physicist who solved mathematical problems while commuting and others who composed music and essays in their heads for transcription later.
