My commute is about two hours each way (a bit longer in the afternoon), and about to get longer due to the office moving locations. I've commented on here before when super commuting came up. Since then, things have improved for me a lot. Why do I do it? I love living in the mountains. I'm in SoCal and I live with great views, bears, deer, mountain lions, raccoons, bird songs, summer time crickets in the evening, frog croaks, mountain biking, creeks, snow, rain, seasons, and nearly no light pollution. I'm raising my kids in the same house I grew up in around many of the neighbors I grew up with. I have dogs, cats, fish, and chickens, a nice garden, a large yard, and still have high speed internet. I get up at about 4:15am, commute about 30 minutes to the gym, workout for an hour, drive for 5 more minutes and hop on a train at 7am. I work on the train for a little under an hour. About 8am, I get off the train and walk for about 5 minutes to the office. This train ride is increasing about 20 minutes about 8 months from now. I leave the office and hop back on the train about 4pm, get off the train about 5pm (having worked while on the train most of the time), and walk in the door around 6pm. Getting home at 6? Yeah, not bad at all. Getting up at 4? Meh, I'm a morning person. With the new office move, I get to keep the same train schedule. I'll just be working more on the train. Oh, and I negotiated working from home two days a week. Previously, I was on a different train schedule and working form the office five days a week. I was out of the house from 6am to 7:30pm every day. Now things are sustainable and great.
