Haha.. this is great.. now I get to bitch about things I just bitch to myself.. now I see why my friends that keep a diary say it's therapeutic.

So I've started to drive to work regularily since, oh, the week before last week, before then I've tried driving once/twice a week. Given the time I leave my house (around 8am), going onto the 404/DVP will be suicide..
so I take the Bayview extension.

During the March break it was great: I spend an average of 35 mins door to parking lot. I find it a relatively stress-free way to go to work, since there was not much congestion, and giving my annoyance with the TTC.. So life was good, even though at the going rate I would have spend 2.4x the money compared to riding "the rocket"..

But now, I guess all the vacationers came back and these few days I had so much fun jostling with other Torontonians.. Expecially fun is the section of Bayview between Eglinton and Moore (just before the Loblaws).. man, in the afternoon that section is parked with cars so effectively we have only one lane each way.. I guess even if it takes 50 minutes now it's still better than having to take the 1 hour plus door-to-door on the TTC..

I guess I'll just try driving some more and decide if I wanna spend the $98 on the MetroPass, or fork out the money to buy gas and parking downtown. hmm...
