how to know you are (suffering from being) a hardcorps commuter

I realize that most of my posts in the recent months have been about pretty heavy topics. Life however, and particularly working as a case manager through Americorps this year, is not heavy all the time and I am very thankful that recently through a calming down of responsibilities at work and a young adults retreat, I feel very refreshed.
So, I am dedicating the next few posts to taking a lighter, more humorous look at life.

If you think you might be suffering from hardcorps commuter syndrome, symptoms may include:

1. Your commute takes more than an hour and usually entails more than one form of transportation.
2. You become a skilled subway-surfer: reading a book and/or holding a cup of coffee while standing in a crowded car en route.
3. You see people every afternoon running, nay, sprinting from the PATH train (subway), upstairs to catch connections to NJ Transit trains. About once a week, you find yourself among their ranks. In fact, you start strategizing which car of the PATH subway to initially get in, so that as soon as the doors open, you can get in the front of the crowd to run upstairs.
4.You become skilled at dozing on the train so that you can wake up just before your stop.
5. You get aggitated when they change the train schedule by 1 minute.
6. You get to the train station parking lot an hour before you necessarily need to catch the train just so that you CAN GET a parking stop at the train station at all.
7. You do one or all of the following in your car once you have secured a stop at the train station in the morning: apply your makeup, brush and fix your hair, take a nap (I know I'm not the only one who does this...I've seen the same guy in the parking lot completely concked out, sitting in his car with the engine running, a couple of times.)
8. The only time you utter profanities is when you do not get a spot in the freaking small non-resident commuter parking lot at the train station because you were a few minutes too late and now you have to drive to work and put to use your aggressive (and newly aquired) NJ driving skills.
9. You have had your car towed from behind a Panera that you parked at because you could not get a spot in the designated non-resident parking lot.
10. Fridays excite you, not primarily because it's almost the weekend, but because you can usually get to said parking lot by 7:40 and still find a spot instead of by 7:15 at the latest M-Th.
11. You have gotten a ticket AND had a boot put on your car tires simutaneously because you parked on a sidestreet in the city for 1/2 hr over the time limit.
12. You've found yourself explaining your life story to someone at the city parking authority in the hopes that he will pity you and not make you pay to take the ****ing boot off your car. He winds up repeating the same schpeil about the city policy over and over, seemingly hits on you, and then still makes you pay $75.

If you are suffering from one or more of these symptoms, you may need help.

At least you can know that you're getting things done for America!
