By the time I came home I am usually pissed off about commute instead of pissed off about work.My longest was 33 miles one way/40 min. Currently 16 miles/20-25 min.
I don't mind a longer commute. By the time you get home, you're not pissed off about work anymore
For 6 weeks this last summer, I had to take my sister to school across town, go to work, pick her up, then go home to finish working from home. 94 miles a day.
Well, traffic isn’t too bad here, so I guess I can see that.By the time I came home I am usually pissed off about commute instead of pissed off about work.
BTW...it was a great house - a 3600sqft ranch with 5-bedrooms, well cared for, a new roof, new central AC, freshly painted inside and out in a very nice community bordering one of the oldest country clubs in the US. The problem was it was a ranch and everyone wanted a colonial. The people who finally bought were older and wanted to be on one floor but had lots of kids/grandkids who visited and so the size and bedrooms were needed.
I used to be like that when I worked in Charlotte, NC around Christmas. The Christmas shoppers made my afternoon commute about an hour longer than the rest of the year. I also hated race weeks at Charlotte Motor Speedway because to get home either way I went took me within a mile of the speedway and heavy traffic associated with it.By the time I came home I am usually pissed off about commute instead of pissed off about work.
Is she not a lawyer anymore?I think it was 18 miles. My commute now is 7 miles.
My wife, a senior business analyst, is about 20 minutes from her office.
If she skips the office and drives directly to the client, she is off the clock the first 20 minutes, but is on the clock and gets paid mileage at .56 a mile 21 minutes onward.
My daily commute (3x week) to work is almost exactly 1 hour/40mi. one way. Why? Because I don't want to live around others. I've done it for 4 years. Is it worth it? ABSOLUTELY! What are the results? I bought a CX5 turbo and now am trading it for a Rav 4 Prime since gas prices are going up. yes, I will tailor my vehicle around my living situation and not the other way around to have things like this as a part of my back yard.Wife has been in the hospital in Detroit and I have been commuting 1.5 hours each way to see her. I hate the drive. Made me think how the heck people could do this daily for years.
My longest regular commute was work and was about 20 miles/25 minutes.
How about you?
My dad is a retired attorney.Is she not a lawyer anymore?
