100 min door to door commute today. (35 min or so in no traffic, 45 min median) Was helped by GPS routing around some traffic. Still sucked. 17:12:20
Missed first meeting of day entirely, arrived tired and needing a break, not ready to be productive. :-/ 17:13:50
Don’t mind my commute at all when I come or go off peak (35min). Not thrilled when need to go at peak (60min). Very unhappy on 90min+ days. 17:16:07
Best days of all are the ones with no meetings when I can work from home AND shift hours later in the day. (NOT a morning personвЂ¦ so not.) 17:17:34
I am very ready for the self driving cars. I know they are coming, but not fast enough! 17:18:39
