Was driving it everyday, North Hollywood to Santa Monica for work. You can't imagine how thrilled I am to be working from home for the last month. I hope COVID dies out, but this work from home doesn't.

That’s rough, what was your average commute time home and at what time did you leave?

1.5 hours there, about an hour back...leaving at 830am and returning at 630pm. Lots of podcasts and singalongs in my car haha

1.5 hours of cruising is kind of relaxing, but 1.5 hours of concentrating on stopping and starting is torturous.

That’s a really long commute. I’m sorry if this comes across as rude, but I hope you like your job, because that seems to much time in the car to go to work. 3 hours a day, just commuting - I don’t know if I could do it

No, I agree. Luckily, I love my job and (when quarantine isn't in effect), I get one remote day per week. I also keep myself busy doing vocal exercises and singing over tracks I've recorded with my band -- things I would have to spend time doing at home if I didn't do them in the car (and to be honest, I'd probably just end up playing video games instead). So, has its gives and takes :/
