Also, plenty of people make the decision to commute in this business and at this company for various reasons and at various points. Ain't no thang for the right kind of people. Just comes with the gig.

^^^^^Exactly. Not a bad gig if the plug lives in base. Even reserve wouldn't suck that bad on the ER when you're driving to work. Well done to the new guy and a hearty "Welcome!" Congratulations!

If I new hire got it, he/or she can get used to a lot of London, Asia, and Hawaii. I've been to worse places.
