I went from a commute that was 9 feet down my hallway to my office, to a commute of 45 minutes each way to an on-site position.

The ONLY reason this has worked is because my commute is against traffic. I wouldn’t do 15 minutes in a bumper to bumper crawl.

I somehow stabbed myself in the meaty part between the thumb and forefinger with a pencil when I was about 10 or so. The lead broke off deep in my hand.

For some reason, nobody ever did anything about getting it out, and my hand eventually healed over it. It’s still there to this day, decades later and you can faintly see it.

And before the comments start… it’s not actually lead; it’s graphite. My body never showed any sign of infection or rejection. It’s just there…
