Living the dream, man. Unfortunately, my commute to work is 20 miles on a highway with 70mi/hr speed limit where everyone drives 85. If I leave at the wrong time, then parts of my commute probably average 10mi/hrs :(
I drink Irish Breakfast in the mornings. Coffee gives me jitters, but tea does not.
It could be better. I'm in the Bay Area, which has some areas that are cool and some areas that are not so cool. And my workplace is in one of the areas that is not cool, by which I mean rich, heavily suburbanized, relatively conservative, and like six miles from the nearest Bart station. And in order to make biking there remotely feasible, I have to live over the hill from Oakland, where nothing cool happens. If I had had the good sense to apply to one of my employer's locations in a place that wasn't a massive fucking pain in the ass to get to, I'd be having a much better time right now.
