HD, I work 2 mins up the road from you and drive every day as there are no trains and the bus from Chatswood is a lottery, can take between 45m-1.5hours depending when you leave.
I usually get in really early or really late and almost always leave early then log on from home. If you aint that flexibile it will be a pain. I'm gonna start communting by bike 1-2 days to get some training done.
It aint too bad, you do get used to it, whats the alternative, live in the burbs and catch a bus or drive an hour anyway?
