@penguinwrangler agreed, but still. You manage to fix your entire travel budget for work. I just recently had to get a loan for a car for work. I probably could have made do with it for everything else, because I live on the edge of a city, so if that were an option for me I'd be saving about $600 a month!
$600!? For a single car? My wife and my car with insurance is just over 600$/month! We have new-ish vehicles too both from 2014.
Yep. About $240 a month for the loan, and I live in Michigan, so not only do I get initially screwed on insurance, my driving record over the last 5 years includes about 8 claims, with one being my fault. However, no fault state, so it doesn't matter if I did it or not. Deer? Rates go up. Dude pulled out in front of me and totaled my car? Rates go up.
Then the icing on the cake is that, due to that totaling, I didn't have insurance for a few months. So, rates went up. I'm currently paying $380 a month for insurance. Just me and the one car.
EDIT: And, didn't turn 25 until just after getting insurance, so rates are up for that too.
Damn, that's unfortunate.
Downright insane. lol. But, to me it rolls back to a saying I've adopted and accepted:
"My life is an adventure, and that isn't by choice." -

Eating a Kangaroo sausage in a bun (en-us kangaroo hotdog)
Really? Do you think I can get that one in Gold Coast or Brisbane?
Yep, sure can. I know they can be found in Coles, Woolworths, and IGA. Some local butchers might have them too.
They also go by the name Kanga-bangas.
okay, that's on my list now.

45 mins on treadmill, day off, lining up coffee #2, listening to dm stith.
Don't you like running outside?
Hi @Joy I don't have the knees for running or the lungs haha.
are you crawling on the treadmill?
I thought you supposed to be running in treadmillWalking is another possibility... people have been known to walk on them too
I don't like walking on treadmill nor running.
It's like walking many hours but still stuck in one place. -

Since you'll be on the Gold Coast, you could always visit Bundaberg's and get the best ginger beer in the world.

Just rode the bus to work for the first time. They opened a nice new park n ride station near my house and my work will pay for a bus pass, which means I don't have to pay for parking, which was $100 a month.
Riding bus in Seattle is $5.50 a day at least. 6 really since nobody uses change.
Car Insurance 45 dollars/month. Full can of gas 64 dollars(16 gallons@4/gal) which lasts the whole month usually unless i drive out the city.
Costs less for me to drive to work than ride the bus. -

A little PC stick could do that, too.

Omg they have rum too :winking_face:Yes, locally known as Bundy. I now occasionally giggle at that since @JaredBusch works for a mob of similar name. I'd like to send him a bottle one day.

Slept 12 hours last night. Still woke up feeling exhausted. Sometimes I think my body is just giving up on life lol.
It's definitely Friday.
