[benm]

Days like today make me happy to be on a lower pay (work in western sydney instead of the city) but only 5mins drive from home.

[Tosh]

where do you work benm?

North sydney cant be half as bad as peak hour sydney from 3:30pm - 5:00pm the M4 is at a standstill until you pass the toll heading towards penrith.

one day I was going to go to parramatta by train but there was a train strike. had to take westbus on the M4 to seven hills then after that a bus to parramatta.

2 and a half hours. it only takes 40 mins or so by car.

I had to do the same thing back to penrith. must have been 60 people in one bus. went back to seven hills and there werent many people in the line for penrith ( about a full bus with no standers ).

Spent half the day travelling

where do you work benm?

I work directly opposite Penrith Plaza. If I open my office blindes/window I can smell the burgers cooking at McDonalds and get quite a nice "view" of the surroundings :aroused:

I started work today at 4pm, I left home at 3:51pm and made it just in time :wassup: Normally I finish work at 4pm, I'm home and watching foxtel by 4:15pm everyday :headspin:

I believe i'm under paid by about $5k but hell 10mins to/from work instead of 2hrs (car + train from Penrith -> City) twice a day im quite happy to be under paid when it means I leave home at 7:45am and get home at 4:15pm (2.5hrs of travel per/wk vs 20hrs travel).

[Brody]

Id take less money to work like ya ben

[Jimbo2000]

tosh, railway square = Central.

Benm, lol i wish i was on city businessman sort of pay

i thought screw it and walked to milsons point, it aint that far but anyone who's met me knows i'm not the most athletic dude

[benm]

Id take less money to work like ya ben

I'd take more money to work like me too but I wouldn't take less.... or something :Oops:

I'm due for a payrise... been here for 3yrs with no change :thumbdwn:

Ben

On that topic of 5k less, i work in the city and live in the mountains, i just paid for my yearly train ticket last week $ 2038.

Oh yeah i was only an hour late home yesterday, from macquarie street to glenbrook, i don't think thats too bad.

[benm]

Ok and so now how much is your time worth ?

At bare minimum u'd be doing 15hrs travel a week (3hrs per day, 1.5hr each way). To me thats worth about $250/wk.

To me the jump at the moment just isn't worth it.

[YRL05S]

I'd love to work that close to home like i used to, but what i do is done in the city. As much as it sucks i have to work.
