commuting speed
In offices, it's not ususual to make friends, given shared interests and so much time in each other's company. But on the train? I've been commuting to New York City for 12+ years and have met some terrific people. Just from a storytelling point of view, two of the best were the perfume salesman-conservationist-philantropist and the theologician-horseman-comptroller, but everyone has a story to tell and many are caring and kind with a wide variety of interests, not surprising since we all converge on superlative NYC. The long commute offers unavoidable concentrated personal time plus an opportunity to meet people. Definitely a perk of my job.
