Been there. Done it. Try waking up at four, walking two miles (or so) to catch the bus at 530, riding for two hours, walking another half hour to the job, only to wait until the office opens at 9. I got paid $320 a week in salary to be the scheduler for a DirecTV subsidiary during a time when we still communicated exclusively via fax, which meant I couldn't leave until every installer returned my faxes. The last bus wouldn't go as far as the bus that picked me up, doubling my walk home starting at 8:30. This also meant that there were times when I worked beyond the final bus, leaving me stuck. Fortunately I had a friend I could stay with on those nights. On nights when I went "home" I slept behind a couch in a house full of people during this time.
LOL@hustle harder. I know the drill and trust me, know it far better than you for much longer. It has nothing to do with this.
