The Art of Being Hummus

humeur: 
anxious
où: Detroit
musique: FLUSHED
*** I feel obligated to include a disclaimer at the beginning of this post, because I know I'm extremely lucky to have a job, let alone a salaried position in my field. And my coworkers are incredibly talented and stellar human beings. But I don't think just because I'm lucky I have to be totally satisfied and complacent. ***
I knew that taking a job in Detroit meant I was signing myself up for a 45 minute to 1+ hour highway commute each day both ways, but I'm a year-and-a-half in to it now, and I haven't moved any closer to my work as I'd hoped to, and I'm sick and tired (mostly tired) of spending 10 hours a week just for commuting. It means if I want to drive to Grand Rapids to see friends and family or drive around Ypsi I'll have to do even more driving than I already do. So instead of my big-city job making me less of a recluse, it's had the opposite effect.
