And we go in different directions so carpooling isn't even an option for us. My comment to people who think we travel too far for work is, "I live where I want to live and I work where I have to." <br /><br />I must say though, that I try very hard to get out on time each day simply because it does take so long to get home. And my time at home is very percious to me. <br /><br />Hang in there kid. January is a long month. It will get better when starts getting warmer out and the sun is still up on your ride home!<br /><br />Ms. MotoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7660871285427237621.post-27665208502187608002010-01-08T05:45:58.194-05:002010-01-08T05:45:58.194-05:00It is a Mass thing.

The commute does wear you down and when I accepted the relocation option my goal was live much closer to work.<br /><br />Maybe a second work at home day option could be available to you? Don't you find you're more productive at home without the normal interruptions?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
