Honestly, I would just take the L

Truly a multifaceted statement

It honestly is so random, sometimes it’s 35 min sometimes it’s 1.5 hours. Would agree the L is more consistent and can get you there in probably 35 min.

It’s taken me an hour to get to the airport on a Sunday morning lol, there literally is no telling in Chicago. When I 100% care about making my flight (ie I paid for it and it’s not just a work flight I can change) I always allow at least a full hour, maybe more on a day like today

Always give yourself buffer time in this city.

Probably an hour. I would just take the el or the direct train

There’s no construction but traffic was building when I went to the airport this morning. Definitely give yourself extra time.

Always assume 1 hour from downtown to OHare +/- 15 minutes.

Thanks all. Sounds like I’m taking the L

You can use google maps to direct there on the blue line! Also make sure to get on the one that takes you all the way to ohare. If it’s not the direct one you may have to get off at the last stop and wait for a train that goes to ohare! They come every 5-10 minutes though so shouldn’t be a big deal either way.

Blue line may be quicker. It generally takes 45 minutes to an hour, but driving could take longer

It’s been very unpredictable lately.

I was approached on LinkedIn for an early career recruiting role in DFW, TX. I don't have direct experience, but I have the university experience/connections from working in career services. This is the first time I've considered work outside of higher education. I said my salary expectations are minimum $90k and that didn't seem to be an issue. Am I asking too little, too much? How can I know I'm getting the best salary and not just settling at the low end of the range?

Tried this Santorini retailing for $40. Very concentrated but can’t say I was blown away by it. Volcanic terroir dominates almost to the point of obscurity, and it had strong lemon notes, hints of quince, and sea salt. It clashed with Mexican food (hey I knew that beforehand but didn’t think it would clash THAT bad, and usually pair Mexican with Riesling or Gewürztraminer) but I’m going to Greece soon and wanted to drink Greek wine. I drank half at a BYOB, took the bottle home(cont’d)
