Oh yeah also

My job offered me a permanent position today for a markedly higher wage and host of benefits. It was kind of sudden (I knew they'd opened two positions up but I wasn't sure they were available to me) and very, very welcome. By next month i'll be insured again, taking more pay than ever before and all-in-all in an extremely good place only four

I will see that you do not die until you have health insurance

Twenty mile commute?? How long a drive does that equal in the end?

Otherwise, though, that sounds totally sweet. Congratulations!

Forty miles every day z.z

There are commuting options that will make it less of pain once i'm a direct employee, but it's still the one catch in an otherwise good deal.

No, I mean in terms of travel time. X)

[sirusavi]

Oh, duh! Sorry, my brain is shot.

About 30 minutes with no/light traffic and around an hour if it's heavy.

Woo! Bit of a drive, but hey, could be worse.

You just need to hire a cabana boy to drive you around, is all!

Obviously you must set up a very small staircase to fall down, thus shielding you from further fall-down-the-stairs karma.
