I used to commute; When I lived in Huntington Beach I commuted to El Segundo.

Then they moved the office to Orange (next to Anaheim stadium).

Then I moved up to Santa Monica, commuted to Orange. 100 miles both ways, bad days were 3 hours EACH way. I did that for about a year and then decided to give up the job (which I liked). It was a small office and I needed my car for work so carpooling of public transit just would not work.

So, I took a job down town. Santa Monica to downtown for 2 years, drove - bus a some times - that wasn't bad. Then we moved to El Segundo and I started taking the bus regularly - IT WAS AWESOME. The commuter buses have limited stops so it was quick to down town and I would take a nap for 20-30 minutes both ways.

Then I got a job in Santa Monica and had to drive again, el segundo to santa monica. Wasn't bad but wasn't great. Then I got a job 5 miles away and finally, most recently 2 miles away.

If I can help it - I will never commute again.
