from what i understand i get "travel time" to and from work....as well as mileage after the first 15....that's WHY i mentioned when i left and got back...

this office is 40-45 miles from the house as will be most of them as i understand, some maybe only 20 or so....

I have two days to complete the job or rescheduling gets REAL complicated

listening to the car grunt wheeze, whistle and whine keeps one on their toes...

That car has over 200,000 miles and good for more...(i drive very cautiously)

as i made the determination to enjoy all the time i have in this world, and absolutely refuse to hurry or rush thru anything...

I'm also working a contract job that goes till April. I work out in the field and rack up a lot if miles. My poor Camry has been stoing but I've had to get work done this past Month. The car is 16 yrs old so I can't really complain. I also get paid mileage and that's tax free. It adds up and permitting your car can handle it not a bad gig.
