> Weird, there are a bunch of software companies/jobs in the northern Atlanta suburbs.

that definitely makes sense; the only reason anything aside from housing exists in the Altanta suburbs is because of how long it takes to get anywhere more than a couple miles from where you live. Our company has an office in the midtown area, and the work schedule for a large part of the office is:

8:30 - 9:30 = work from home, fuck traffic; 9:30 - 10:00 = drive to office; 10:00 - 3:30 work; 3:30 - 4 = drive home, fuck traffic; 4 - 5:30 = work.

I can't imaging working anywhere in Atlanta that requires you to have your ass in the office at 8. I've heard people in Atl joke about how they used to be friends with someone that moved 10 miles away, and they can't hang out anymore cause it legitimately takes too long to get there.

That is my schedule when I have to go in (thankfully only a few times a month), but usually the 10:00-3:30 becomes a 10:00-6:30 or 7.

I guess the friend thing kind of depends on which direction they moved in relation to traffic.

Atlanta traffic has nothing on DC.

the thing is once you get ACTUALLY GET IN DC, it's not that bad. You are screwed trying to get in or out though.
