i don't think we should be comparing ourselves to oil rig operators, infact, we simply enjoy the luxury of being able to commute. in the normal world, if a person wants a job, they have to relocate to where the job is, we on the other hand have this ability to live in one city, and travel to another city.

If the average person was trying to do that with their office job, their quality of life would be just as depressing (and that would be even considering that they have the company buying the tickets). The only thing is, we will stay @ the city that we end up @ overnite, then on to it again.

Just seems odd to think, if i was to find a nice job in chicago, and say..."yeh, i'll commute outta st. louis" cause that good job in chicago would say, your crazy, or, "no...you'll move you and your family to chicago"
