What is worth getting worked up over?
- Candice
Well I can tell you what isn’t worth getting worked up about — United States. Yeah you heard it here first. We jumped the shark. Sure we have the the fastest computer in the world, but who does that help? Next year they suspect that we will break a petaflop (1000 TRILLION calculations per second) but that doesn’t save the planet.
And you know what else has no planetary weight, your keys. Still I hear people swearing about not being able to find their keys. What is the deal, no one can open you bank account with them, but I guess they could steal your car. But no, stop getting frothy over your keys.
Now I am off topic. I think the only real thing to get worked up about is the safety of your friends and family. I can pretty easily just ignore someone being a jerk to me, but if you are messing with my friends I feel it is pitchforks and posse time.
Oh and finally, no getting worked up over college sports. Every team (other than mine) sucks, they always will end of story — now pass the chips.
I am thinking about taking a new job, but I would have to drive 45 minutes a day to get there. Should I do it?

Can you take the bus? If not I think 45 minutes driving is unreasonable and is going to cost you a lot of money. Reading, play a game, or listening to music on the bus/train whatever can be a good way to separate your home life from your work life, but unless you really like driving and paying $3.50 per gallon an hour and a half a day is pretty sucky.
If you are being paid significantly more than the increased cost your should consider it. If you are only considering the new job because you dislike your current job I say quit your current job. Nothing lights a fire under a job search like being unemployed.
Good luck.
