Welcome to everyday for the rest of your life.

 

[Balt]

Get a bite to eat, watch 15 minutes of TV, go to sleep.

Tomorrow, rinse and repeat.

 

[Gunslinger08]

Enjoy the 15 minutes you forgot about. It's only 8:15.

It takes you 2 hours to get there and 2.5 hours to get home? Either move closer or find a new job. 4.5 hours of your day * 5 days a week is a little over 13% of your life travelling to and from work.

 

[meltdown75]

Go to bed, you have to be up early.

'night :moon:

 

[EvilYoda]

I have friends that are working in NYC, but daaaaaamn that's horrible.

Stop working while sleeping or you'll get fired.

Look forward to weekends.

Save for retirement.

30 minutes? Dang. My current commute is 40-60 minutes, and I don't think that it's all that bad. I've had jobs with commutes upwards of 2 hours, and that was starting to push it just a bit.

We both live in smallish towns...

[Fingolfin269]

Move somewhere that doesn't require like 5-6 hours of your life getting ready for work and traveling to/from work and it won't be so bad.

Thank you! Now when people ask me how I can live ALL THE WAY down in Dumfries (Prince William county) I can show them this and tell them that I:

Get up at 4:15
Get on I95 at 5:15
Arrive at work in Arlington at 5:40
Leave work at 2:00
Get home at 2:40

I feel so much better now!

you should have listened to everyone in the working world and STAYED IN SCHOOL.

they drill that in your head when you are a kid "be cool, stay in school".

Once I get better at what I do, I won't doubt it.

No kidding! What kind of job is it so that you're willing to waste 4.5 hours a day on travel? The only way I'd ever do that? if I could ride my bike to work all that time. I'd probably be riding over 200 miles a week at that rate, woohoo!
