the friday drive
The short: my commute sucks.
It’s not the worst out there, but it’s not good. I drive about 46 miles each way, and the first third of it is no more than 40mph. Sometimes it takes me 55 minutes (with little to no traffic), but the past couple of weeks it’s been closer to 1:45.
The only saving grace has been Fridays. Most Friday commutes are nice and easy, relatively few cars on the road (compared to a “normal” morning), and I get to work closer to my planned time. This Friday was no exception, and even though I left a little later than I wanted, I was only about 10 minutes late.
Anyone with a worse commute? I know you’re out there. I also know there are some people that have a 30 foot commute into their home office. To those people, I am jealous.
