A friend used to complain that she drove to work so she could afford to buy gas to...drive to work.
I used to do that, but not anymore. About 10 years ago I shucked all that stuff and basically quit the workforce so I could stay home and spend more time with my son. It wasn't easy, but I'm glad I did it.
However, now I'm pretty much ruined for any kind of office job, lol. I probably wouldn't last a week before I did or said something that would result in my being fired like a cannon.
