Commuting
Today, I learned how to get out of Cambridge. It's less than 10 minutes to get out, and I made it to wedü in under an hour from the time I sat down in the car. (6:30 to 7:30.)
Yes, I was speeding the whole way. Yes, I was driving a box on wheels (94 Ford Aerostar). Yes, I am fucking exhausted due to being up too late last night.
Commuting sucks, but at least it's not really that bad of a run. I'll probably have to leave at about 7 to get out on time, but at least it's not the 3-4 hour commute that some people have going the other way.
Van is almost empty on gas, so I need to fill it before it goes far.
I did meet a whole bunch of people from foonet/#pugglewump, including![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
xxv who I have been meaning to meet for many months. We did see very awesome fireworks from four-speed-of-sound seconds away. Julie wasn't even very scared. I am amazed at how big commune gatherings can quickly get: 6 communistas, Jason and Emily, one of Pez's boys, nostrademons, then Xavier, Tina, qsarahz (q and z silent), Mercutio and 2 other names I can't remember, followed by Alli(e?), Dan, and someone else on a bike. Our small group of 6 turned to 8 turned to 10 turned to 16 turned to 19 - with relatively little effort. Xavier also saw the commune 2.0, and the commune1.0 finally did get completely cleaned out - just stopping by to get the vaccum cleaner today before we go home.
I did have a good night.
I do live in Cambridge now, and I love it. I'm just really fricking tired.

It's only another month, and I'd rather not rock the boat, especially since they're mentioning the idea of me doing contract work for them after I leave.
