Oh, Right.

I was thinking about the comment I made here the other day that I used to love love snow but now it's more of a stress due to driving needs and as I lay in bed the other night I thought "I wonder what's changed?"

And that's when another voice inside my head (still my voice just from like another.... thinking part or something!) said "Vee?  Your job location changed."

Ohhhhhh right.  My drive to work since they changed my locations involves a LOT more driving.  Highway.  Speed.  Much more traffic.  I'm not comfortable with the drive on a good day (or I'm comfortable enough on a low traffic well light good day I guess) and I'm uncomfortable with the drive on a dark morning or a rainy morning or god forbid a rainy dark morning and so it makes sense to me now that the thing that changed for me is the drive I now have to take if it snows.  

Before, the drive was manageable and if I felt uncomfortable I had a co-worker who used to live like a block and a half away and he'd happily drive the both of us if I felt like I didn't want to drive myself.  Awesome.

But now?  Well he moved and he isn't at my new location anyway and I don't work regular hours (and no, to be clear I'm not taking a bus or paying for a taxi or anything) so yeah.  It's an added stress to an already not low stress drive for me and that makes it make more sense that I'm less than excited about potential snow than I used to be.  Bummer.
