just for my edification-to all you folks/superheros (not being sardonic but truly admiring) who do that length of a commute-do you have home lives and work lives which are equally as demanding? My goodness, I couldn't function at home after commuting 4 hours and putting in a full day's work - for me a full day is at least 13 hours @ work.....I would barely have enough time to sleep....
I am totally impressed.....
I found that the distance isn't too bad once I got used to it, although it is definitely something that I can't do every single day of the week. When I do this, the biggest problem I have is that I am tired when I get to work. I have to have about two cups of coffee to perk myself back up. However, by the time I'm ready to leave, I seem to get a second burst of energy. Needless to say, on the days that I do this, I am in bed by 9. I also have a very nice, flexible job with standard 9-5 hours and no one watching the clock. So, to answer your question, no, I don't have a demanding job that requires me to be there all hours of the day. If I worked your hours there's no way possible that I could even consider doing a commute of this distance.
