My dog woke me up at 0530 today .. so I was at work by 0645 and because of that will be leaving before 3 PM. No traffic whatsoever in either direction. I'm jealous of you people lucky enough to have this as your natural schedule. I tend get into bed at a reasonable hour and then read for too long ..

I was up at like 5:45 and at work by 6:30.

I'm also leaving shortly and this schedule owns.

 

[BoomerD]

Yawn...is it time to get up already?

5;30 is my normal workday time to get up. On my days off I can usually sleep until 7 or 8 though.

I took today off in anticipation of not feeling well after eating to much crap and drinking to much at a super bowl thing. I was still up at 7 and had coffee before my wife left for work.

Work days, I'm up at 5am. I need to get out of the house by 5:55 or traffic sucks.

 

[BoomerD]

Damn...for MOST of the last 10 years of my career, I was out of bed between 0230 and 0300...and on the road between 0330 and 0400 .

I commuted ~100 miles each way into the SF bay area and had to be ready to work no later than 0700...and usually at 0600.
If I was late, I had to wait for another crew boat to take me to my barge...30-60 minutes later. That meant none of my crew could go to work.
In 10 years, I was late twice. Once when a truck dropped its trailer in the middle of 580 on the Dublin grade, once when a gasoline tanker crashed in the maze. (Or that area...FUBAR'D traffic.) Most of us were late that morning.

I'd have been pitching a tent and camping out on the barge four nights a week. No freaking way I'd make that drive, no matter how much they paid.

If i sit down and ready after like 7pm-ish, I'll be out. it's just how I'm programmed. I got a kiddo who's a night owl and one who's not, just how were programmed. My night owl wants to know why there's not night school for kids because he'd prefer that.

Yeah I can't imagine doing such a crazy commute. The longest I've ever want to do is like maybe 15 minutes. MAYBE I would do longer if I had a super skookum property that made the trek worth it, but I would definitely want an electric car for that or it would just make no sense to spend all that money on gas.

Maybe you're stupid enough to do something that is guaranteed to get you fired from a very well paying job...me, I just got in my truck and drove...

I DID sleep a few hours in my truck a few times when I worked too late to drive home and I had to be back earlier than normal for tide work...and occasionally, if the weather was really shitty, I'd spend a night in a motel,, but that was money wasted, IMO.

 

[Red Squirrel]

Can't see why it would get you fired. Ideally you'd probably want to get a gym membership to use the showers. May as well spend an hour at the gym, instead of an hour driving only to have to do it again in 8 hours. It's counter productive to work that far from home and drive an hour there and back every day.

If so his politics completely changed.. Or....

AN hour? More like two, maybe three each way.

I wouldn't do that no matter what the pay was. Not for $1,000/hour. I'd find a way to live or sleep closer, even if in a motel.

 

[snoopy7548]

I guess if you're the type of person who likes driving (and driving in traffic), it wouldn't be a big deal. The commute could be considered part of your job, but for me it would have to pay enough so that I could do it for like five years and then retire.

 

[Red Squirrel]

The problem is that it's time you'll never get back, and its not like you're being paid for it either.

Not to mention the fuel cost. Better off getting a job closer to where you live.

 

[jameny5]

Yeh. Well I shot out of bed and ran to the toilet and dropped my drawers and say down. Checked my underwear. Clean as a whistle.

I had dreamt I had shit the bed. I've never shit the bed before but the dream scared the fuck outta me.

I'm glad I have not been properly educated in school else, I would have said something to top your comment .
