After a while I'd say the radio gets on your last nerve, but still necessary to try to avoid some traffic snarls.<BR/><BR/>I remember getting all huffy because my boss insisted that I live in the town where he'd hired me. After a two hour commute each dayfor about a month I decided he was right, but still huffy that he thought he could dictate where his employees lived.Fayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10227397761350236459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-614620664469647965.post-25305863229285443672009-02-09T21:22:00.000-05:002009-02-09T21:22:00.000-05:00I used to live about 15 miles from work and it too...I used to live about 15 miles from work and it took me about 30-40 minutes. Then I started shifting my hours and found the traffic wasn't so bad. I still do that - I go in at 9:15 and leave at 5:15 or later - and most everyone has gone ahead of me.Sayrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16350593991157139017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-614620664469647965.post-59186379886573273942009-02-09T15:00:00.000-05:002009-02-09T15:00:00.000-05:00its not uncommon in the midwest for people to comm...its not uncommon in the midwest for people to commute an hour to work each day.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04474928571871603804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-614620664469647965.post-18834975626567171902009-02-09T13:07:00.000-05:002009-02-09T13:07:00.000-05:00egads - that is way too long.

I used to ride VRE when I lived in Va, and I remember the Rippon Landing stop - it meant that I was about halfway home :-)<BR/><BR/>I also heard that news report, about Linton Hall/that general area having the longest commute. Bah. Good thoughts to you!<BR/><BR/>I said to Pamela that the trouble with this area is that we rarely get enough snow to really shut everything down. We get just enough so that the traffic is an ugly mess, but we're still expected to get out and get to work. (I have loved these last few days though! Come on, spring!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-614620664469647965.post-73979575405068658712009-02-09T06:53:00.000-05:002009-02-09T06:53:00.000-05:00I'm soooooooooooo glad I'm retired!

I couldn't put up with that ever again.

I guess it gives one opportunity to listen to the news and lots of music, or books on cd.Pamelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05404943895800549273noreply@blogger.com
