It seems it wasn't enough my sentimental life as a Commuter, better said "weekend lovers", that I had to experience a real commuter working experience.
After ten years of glorious "maximum 15 minutes distance to work", I've been sent to the other side of the town for some meaningless and totally unuseful (that's normal in IT environment) consultancy period.
Drive the car to closest metro station, jump the first train, switch to another train line, get the final stop and take a bus to final destination.
All in all, 1 hour and plus minutes from house to job, all in all, not so bad.
I mean, there is a lot to gain being close to work, especially in Rome, on the other side there is a lot to gain being in a seat, book in your hand and music in your ears.
No traffic jam, no screaming at improbables drivers, no danger, time to read, time to stare and to study people around you.
I know, it may seems meaningless to stare at some other people, but i find it interesting somehow.
Life sometimes pass just through people eyes and tells you a lot of a moment in time, I look at them and I see black and white pictures in my mind, faces that I would like to print in a photo and let them speak through it.
Time to read, time to stare, time to practice some street (metro) life picture.

I'd like to read your blog, but your choice of colors, white text in black background is hurting my eyes and forcing me to move on....
That's a good suggestion Kaps, I had thought about it some time ago, maybe time has arrived to make this change.Thks
Hi its a Nice blog. while reading this post i remember about myself because i also work for a IT firm and my first branch was near to my home sweet home. But after some projects i was shifted to a place which is 37kms from my home and a total distance of 74kms to be covered everyday. But i take my bike and its really enjoyable. My bike will be running in a constant speed of 90km/hr. Try going in your bike once, it will be nice and you will enjoy it too ;)
