Crazy commute?

Screw that. I love my 7 mile, 12 minute commute.

~1.5 miles, maybe 3-4 minutes. Sometimes 5-6 if there's a schoolbus, and if the two traffic lights aren't in my favor.

pansies. I walk my 1.8 miles daily.


OP, it can be done if the drive is pleasant and there aren't traffic issues on the commute. Things like that grate on you after a while. You also have to enjoy going to work, otherwise it's self-defeating.

the main problem would likely be the return commute after a long or bad day. once get used to the route, you'll end up getting bored, sleepy, /crash.

as long as you enjoy the job, though, and life in the other town, it shouldn't be a problem (also the strain on car and finances endured by daily 2 hours commute is offset by much better pay)
