I'm surprised by the advice to shower before the commute. Do you guys also take the time to dry your hair, or do you go out on cold mornings with wet hair? Don't you then have to spend even more time with paper towels or wipes when you get to work?
Showering before I left home would put me on the road later with more traffic, so I think I'll start by trying the spongebath at work - it seems like the best use of time, at least right now. I may change my mind after I actually try it. I have very short hair (what's left of it), so I can sponge that, too!
