Dude. You should really walk...

My current commute is <4 miles. Takes 10-20mins depending on stop-lights - there are about 8 of them. Traffic can bump it up to 30-40mins, but that's rare.
I used to do 55miles each way. I figured it out to be almost 2 extra working days a week in the car that I was not paid for. Podcasts, audiobooks and NPR got me through.
I didn't mind the drive, but seeing idiots on the highway doing 70mph+ reading books, on their cellphones, laptops and putting make-up on turned me into a road rage nut. The worst was a guy putting on a pair of pants at wheel!! I saw at least one major accident every 1-2 weeks on the PA turnpike too, which called into question my mortality vs. my job. That fueled the decision to quit that place and do something else.
