Well, I work for a non-profit that runs on donations, thus the "donation" comment.

Believe me, I'm keeping my eyes peeled for other job opportunities. It's tough because I am the benefits provider for our family and we couldn't even make our house payment on hubby's income. However, he loves his job and I figure at least one of us should have job fulfillment!

Anyway, I really apologize for hijacking this thread.

I have to say I am all for commuting by bike/foot/public transit. I never even owned a car until very late 20's and loved being able to get everywhere without a car. Especially now that gas is over $4.50 a gallon here (although I never pay that much . . . I wait until my hubby can go with me to Costco and get the $4.29 gas there).
