I remember during college getting a part time job at a trucking company located in the middle of a swamp about 12 miles away from school. It would take two buses and a mile walk down a road that had no sidewalks and was pitch black to arrive at work!! I was crazy back then to even take this job since I didn't own a car and I'd leave at 11:00 at night! Let me tell you it was an adventure! I would eventually start bike commuting to work but back then I didn't use lights or even a helmet. I didn't even have a patch kit but it didn't matter because I wouldn't be able to fix a flat anyway!! LOL.
Fortunately, they relocated me closer where I would only have to take one bus. However, the new office was down a huge mountain that I had to climb up and out of each night! That was an adventure also! I don't miss working for that company anymore so much as I miss being young.
