My mate in Wales was telling me how excited he is about the new trains. Said it will genuinely change his day to day life.
It made me realise I barely think about that side of things when I look at jobs. Do you think more about lifestyle and less about just the role itself?

If your friend commutes on the trains, and the new ones are a big improvement, I could understand them saying it will change their life. I used to commute via public transportation from Brooklyn to Manhattan and the quality of the trains mattered. It never affected my preferences of a job, really, as it was just a given that the time on the subway was part of daily life.

I get that, but I think we normalise things that actually impact us a lot. Commute, environment, even small daily frictions add up. I have started factoring lifestyle in more because the role alone does not carry the whole experience.

This is kinda weird but is anyone paranoid? I've been so paranoid lately. Like if I'm driving, I visualize me in a car crash. If my parents call, I get paranoid that they have bad news.

Anyone else?
