Could you negotiate for more telecommuting or flexhours so you can miss at least some traffic?

Our wings are not tired.

why is 45 minutes too much?

45 minutes itself wouldn't necessarily be, but it's more like 1.5 hours during traffic each way. I timed it at 2:30 in the afternoon.

It involved at least one bridge, 4 different freeways, and a number of potential hotspots for accidents. It would mean getting home after 8 every night and not ever being able to make weeknight plans.'

Ginger, possibly? But with that many reports, I would want to be and need to be onsite a lot for at least the first 6 months.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

So, what if you worked differently from 8 to 5?

I am not sure if you are a morning person or evening, but if you started work at 7, you probably could avoid most of it. BTW, why can't you drive to BART/Caltrans and take that in?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

And I guessing since it out in PA there is no public transport that would make it worth it? Maybe negotiate the telecommute to 3 days? If you were looking for any advice at all. Which you might not have been. In which case, I'll shut it.

Brave was awesome. t random

le nubian, BART and Caltrain don't work at all for my commute, unfortunately. I'm not near pub trans on my end and the company is nowhere near Caltrain. It would be a 3 hour commute each way taking pub trans.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Tonight I'm going to see a dance performance by a troupe a friend is in, if I can motivate to leave the house.

Aroo? (which autocomplete wanted to make "Arlo." heh)

damn.

another note: did you know that in some juridictions, it is illegal to rent out your home for less than 1 month at a time?
