i find driving to have an impact on my mental health. for example, I find myself angry and loosing control of my emotions if someone cuts me off while driving. sure, people buzz you and what not when you are on a bike, but for some reason this has little impact on my emotions.

Today, however, I did drive. Mainly b/c I was sick all weekend and my company has a lame policy in which you accrue no sick days until after 1 year of service. If I had a sick day, I would be at home resting. Otherwise, I'm just waiting on my boss to walk into my office so I can cough all over him and explain how I am going to get everyone else sick b/c of their lame sick day policy.
