I’m legitimately fortunate to live in a super cool, young, and upcoming city.
I’ve only lived here for a matter of a few years, but it’s grown on me hastily.
The only thing I don’t love is the god awful traffic that surrounds and gridlocks the entire city, every single day, however constantly, you are trying to travel only a few miles and yet somehow the venture will take over an hour. It’s the absolute worst when you’re just trying to commute to labor in the day. The only solution I’ve found is carpooling to take advantage of the speedier left lane, but that too has its downfalls, then namely, the carpooling partner I’ve found from my labor and I have legitimately different weather conditions preferences. She is always powering up the A/C at full blast, and using the air vents that blow directly in your face. I’m continually cold cold, despite trying to adjust my personal air vents to release as little cold air as possible. I literally shiver from my head to my toes. I wear many layers of sweatshirts each day to combat the overzealous cooling system, but then it feels like I’m standing in a boiler for every second I’m outside of the car and pretty soon I’m dripping with sweat up a storm, then when I take my turn to drive, I typically inquire about her comfort and adjust the thermostat and air vents as necessary, but the consideration is not extended both ways! I don’t want to seem ungrateful, but the subarctic cooling system is driving me away from my carpooling arrangement.
