    What do you do on the drive to work?

    goats'r'us replied to whitecat5000's topic in General Nursing

    I only have a 10 minute drive. I listen to the same, impossibly perky it's-too-early-to-be-this-happy songs (including one in German, to which I know all the words but haven't a clue what they mean)...
