[QUOTE="Geezer, post: 1308072, member: 436"] When I moved into the place I have lived in for the past 30 years I accepted a 40 minute commute in order to live where I wanted to be. After about 10 years my location was closed and I had a choice to either move at the company's expense or increase my commute to a little over an hour. I stayed put and commuted. I found that if I adjusted my schedule to avoid school buses and the major traffic hour I didn't mind the commute and even enjoyed the ride home on a nice afternoon. Still, it took up over two hours of my day and that left little time for other things. Luckily for me, work at home became acceptable and the last four or five years I only went to my office about once a week. I have been retired now for four years, and that is even better. [IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/punk.gif[/IMG] If I had a choice, I would live within walking distance of my place of employment. Being in the office is more productive than working from home and it keeps you in the eyes and minds of the higher ups when a promotion opens up. Bottom line, commuting is better than hating your job. Commuting in light traffic is much better than the same number of minutes in heavy traffic. [/QUOTE]
