[TriLUG] OT: your RTP commute? my office is relocating to RTPfrom Cary

[David McDowell]

hahaha!  I love it... "the DMZ between Cary, Apex and Holly Springs"!!
 Classic!  Fight annexation from Cary with all your might!!  ;)

Unfortunately if I move my 8:30-5, it has to be to the earlier shift
:( :(  $boss is worse at mornings than myself, so he wins and I'd have
to shift to earlier.  :)

What's more, if I'm going to head down around that way, I might as well put 540 and tolls in the forefront of thought... not a good idea, thus why some of us are spearheading an attempt to get the public involved.  Carpooling is another potentially good idea.  It is a shame the TTA couldn't get things straight and get the regional rail project underway, I'd ride that to this new location from NCSU daily and love it!!  *sigh*
