I found out something really cool as I started my new job at AMC on Friday:

I can ride the bus. Conveniently.

This is a huge win for me. As someone who drives almost 30 miles each way from South Olathe to downtown Kansas City for work, I get annoyed by my commute. I have to pay attention. That’s at least an hour of my life that I waste each week that could be spent reading, writing, Twittering or any number of things.

One of my benefits is the choice of a parking pass at the 10th and Main parking garage or a bus pass. I’m not sure what my schedule’s going to look like for the first few weeks, but I’m likely going to attempt to start riding the bus, which should be pretty cool.

I’ll be sure to let you know how it goes.
