Who knows, the additional structure may help.

My current commute is 20-45 minutes, depending on traffic, and it drives me CRAZY. I think with all of their accommodations it'll work out for you. Always keeps a gym bag with running shoes packed in your trunk, that way if traffic gets to you, you can exit, and run :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2189875022254484779.post-3633912612908915642013-06-23T23:00:13.231-04:002013-06-23T23:00:13.231-04:00Congratulations!!

No, you do not have to pay for them. They are all provided by the company. It's a perk! Where Greg works, they do the same thing for coffee that you do, so it totally varies by company in terms of these perks. For a teaching job, they should give you weekly bottles of wine to help you unwind from the stress!Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06265175590096078175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2189875022254484779.post-10236269609313987772013-06-21T11:59:33.438-04:002013-06-21T11:59:33.438-04:00I am so blown away by this company.

Like, at school, instead of wasting money on the silly coke machine, the teachers pitch in and buy 12 packs of soda. Then we throw a few cents in a pot every time we take one. Klassy, huh? We do the same thing for coffee. LOL. <br /><br />Your new job sounds really, really amazing. And yes, your schedule is TOTALLY workable. <br /><br />Congratulations!!!!!<br /><br />(I also love the champagne they sent to you- so nice! For some reason they don't do that when you accept a teaching job...)L.A.
