Work vs. life

[HAULN-SS]

I am a super-star 40 hours a week, and no more. Unless they are paying for it, which they do sometimes. If they don't, I clock out. Being good at what you do is the best way to move up, not putting in more hours. Granted I haven't been working as long as some of you, but I have moved up relatively quickly in 2 years, and I am making significantly more money than I was when I started. I have also worked into a slight niche market, and have the ability to jump ship at just about any time, which my boss knows. He's had 5 job reqs out for jobs similar to mine for months, and hasn't had any hits yet.

1. Commute (I went from 200 miles a week to 10 by bike. That comes out to ~10 FULL DAYS saved per year. What do you think of that, Deersty? What's an f'ing day worth to you?)

I own a house, and get an hour a day to wind down after work. What's that worth to me? I dunno...about 4.5% appreciation a year probably.
