for 3 years I commuted from Santa Monica to Orange. About 100 miles round trip in my 914. It would be decent most days and take an hour each way but at least once a week I would have the day from hell and take 3 hours both ways. I swear - some days if traffic was really nasty before I left the office I would just take a nap at my desk.

I resolved then to either work somewhere with a flexible schedule or a shorter commute. It took a bit but at the moment I work mostly from home with probably 2-3 days on the road a week. I get to make my own schedule mostly so I do my best to avoid two things: Getting up early and traffic. =-)
