fabrisseI don't understand Southern Californians.
Gasoline is well over $3.00 a gallon. It's going up. And people are saying that they will quit their jobs rather than take the bus.
Seriously. In my office, I overheard that conversation.
My jaw has dropped past my knees.
I've been trying to find a viable way to make it to my office by public transportation for months. (In a weird moment of synchronicity, I actually discovered the correct way to accomplish this. It will take over 2 hours to make it to work. I have issues with getting up early, but 45.00 per week for gas will help me overcome them.) Somehow, it makes me less than human not to want to drive 32 miles a day.
Part of that overheard conversation included the line, "I wouldn't feel like a person if I had to take the bus."
*whimper*

Date: 2006-04-29 04:50 pm (UTC)I must admit that I'm still looking into another bus alternative. The brand new Orange line is efficient and clean and I'd rather take it. It stops four miles (straight shot) from my office. And I can't find a single bus that goes left to right instead of paralleling the orange line to get me there. If I were more confident of my skills on a bike, I'd fasten one to the front of the bus and bike the fifteen minutes it would take me. I'm pretty sure I'd end up as pavement pizza pretty quickly. There are no bike lanes in Northridge.

Feeling particularly bike-serkerish on Fabi's account.
P.S. HAve you had any interaction w/ the state Employment Development Dept for CA? The MA one is quite good. Check their website and see what they offer. http://www.edd.ca.gov/ONE-STOP/default.htm
