One of the big Boston hospitals tried to recruit me for their transplant team once. They wanted to pay me $15,000/year LESS for the privilege of commuting into Boston five days a week and paying for my own parking. Fuck that noise. I’ll stay at my little community hospital, thanks. Prestige ain’t gonna pay my mortgage.
Although hospitals run 24/7, and the T doesn’t. And even when it’s running, sometimes it isn’t, because there’s a train broken down. Or on fire. Or both.

The Commuter Rail is notoriously as expensive as parking
