2008? You're kidding me, you're locking in to a transfer over 2 years in advance?
I live 7 miles from my office, and it can still take me over an hour to get home at times. If it's raining heavily or there's even a hint of snow, I'm completely screwed in trying to get across Route 7.
Of course, I have it much better than mtnbkr. We work about a mile from each other, and he lives much further out.
