Bitch of a Commute !!!

The title says it all! ...... Today while returning from work a thought hit me "I have been traveling a lot since i got employed" .... after a few moments of pondering and with the help of my mobile calculator I realized, I have traveled the same distance (in the last 8.5 months) as the length of the Equator.

Yeah, thats right ..... but "Equator" is not supposed to raise your eyebrows.... as most of us have covered this distance by now..... point to be noted is.... the period of 8.5 months. You can see for yourself:

a.) Its 100 km from Jeddah to Thuwal (the project site). I have referred to this fact in both my posts.

b.) We have one day as a weekend.

c.) I started this project work in April. Take out two weeks of Eid Holidays which were officially only 4 days in total, 2 days each.

Do the Math!

and btw the equator measures 40,075 km.
