I have a 2-hour commute to work, one way. Yes, in a year that equals a solid month in a car:
4 hours a day X 4 days a week X 49 weeks = 784 hours / 24 = 32.6
And yeah, only 75 minutes from the ocean, 60 if I want to settle for Fenwick.
Well, I made it too the beaches a couple times a year. Enough to keep me sane I guess.Quote:

i work in the IT dept at a large healthcare company doing project management type stuff...have enough vacation days that i can hit most of the good swells but i work too far from the beach to do many after/before work sessions late fall through early spring...fortunately my mgr is ok with me shifting my hours around when good swells come in as long as i get my work done
you wouldn't happen to work for DAU do you? Yes, my commute is ROUGH. I can make it in 2 hours which is better than 2.5 but in this economy it beats unemployment! Can't complain to have a job these days that I like, it's secure and pays pretty well! I actually stay down in MD two to three nights per week to help control costs of commuting and wear and tear on the car.Quote:

It's about 1.5 hours to Assateague, which is where I ride 90% of the time. Close enough that I can motivate for dawn patrol and get in to work by 11.
No I don't work for DAU, not even sure what that is. You're right, almost any job is better than no job. I just hate my work/life balance right now. I've thought about staying closer to work during the week but it only solves part of the problem. I'd still be away from my house and all the things that need my time there.Quote:
