My commute tripled last year when the company moved to the brand new shiny building. One reason I want to move, the place I'm looking at is halfway between work and wehre I am.
Wesley: We were fighting on opposite sides, but it was the same war. Fred: but you hated her…didn't you? Wesley: It's not always about holding hands.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Still, I'd propose to the meeting organizer that, given the change in the commute for everyone either the meeting time be moved to later in the day or that the deadline for submitting meeting materials be the previous afternoon.
Totally.
As for commuting by bike - my HR department recommended baby wipes when I asked about the possibility of an onsite shower. I'll let you know how that goes once sunrise gets a little earlier (next week according to the All-knowing Phone). And I have an extra bike lying around if you want to try one with gears, although it is short because it is mine, so possibly not an actual improvement in comfort for you.
or they'll just send my steaming overly-moistened self straight home again.
Or maybe try for this outcome and see if they can learn how to set up this particular meeting without you...

Do you mean project manage? I can but I prefer not to. Or, not to as the majority of my job.

We will be having more openings, just not sure what. JWST work is slowly ramping up. I just know PMs are probably sought sooner.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
When I lived in Arizona and biked the 5 miles across the desert in early afternoon to work, I'd plan to arrive 5-10min early, and have a wash with wet wash cloth and hand soap, followed by applying deodorant and powder, and changing into fresh clothes. As jeans and a t-shirt are my uniform, I can't say how much more work would go into making oneself presentable in office attire.

This is the correct answer. Let it be known that late submissions mean you get up at 4:30am and guilt the fuck out of them.

Some of the managers I know would consider getting up at 4:30 the right and proper dedication to the job. Proves you're a team player and a go-getter. IE, someone who they can bleed dry.

Yeah, these are doctors; they don't think like engineers.

Maria, oh, no. I hope it doesn't suck too badly. Dang.
Let me know if you need to call and vent, OK?
