Thanks guys for the info.

I'm not sure about shifting the hours. I think I'm going to have to leave early to get there and leave late to get home. I know it's a bad idea, but I'm temporarily without a choice.

I'm down in Dana Point now and until I find a place to rent up there, this is where I'm staying. My other option to to take the train but it doesn't have a stop near Santa Monica.

If you had to work in Santa Monica (and you're from out of state and don't know the LA beach areas at all) where would you look for a decent commute to the Santa Monica/Beverly Hills area? I'd like to rent near the beach somewhere.
