My boss at work (compared with the Mrs. Frinklin, who is my boss at home) recently attended one of these management conferences. You know what I’m talking about: 2-3 days of managers sitting around talking about being managers, how cool it is to be managers, and how they can better manage the lives of their underlings. Well, mine came back with the suggestion of a lifetime. Everyone wastes so much time during a commute, why not use that time productively? Try taking a book on CD or tapes that will instruct you on how to improve yourself at performing your chosen career for instance.
Good Lord People, does anyone do this? My commute, and oh my is it a fun one, is about an hour. This isn’t terrible by San Diego standards, but it is longer than some. My commute isn’t a time for learning; it is a time for forgetting. I forget work-Frinklin and try my damnedest to remember real-Frinklin. Sometimes I forget and still talk in cubicle-ese around the house. Besides, any stray brainpower that could possibly be used to learn is needed to scream and rant at other drivers. Learn while on the commute, whatever…
