I hate the commute home.

Well, work is over, and time for me to go home. I just wanted to mention that I really hate the commute. Even so, when I am tired and pissed off from a day of work.

Eh, tried. The most I have been able to shave off was 10 minutes. That was cruising at 5500 rpm's.

that's not saying much without telling me how long it takes at the speed limit. Cause if it only takes 20 minutes, that means you're averaging 120 mph. But if it takes an hour, then that's still pretty decent. So how long doing it legally?

I also have to drive only about 6ks to work









but its at 3am

And I then spend 11hours driving a truck in East Auckland.
Try getting down any main road with a school in it, in a truck that is exactly 2.5M wide (maximum legal width) when parents are parked on either side of the road, droping kids off, and old ladies who can't see down the road are drving straight at you, not realising that due to all the stupid parents who wont let thier kids take the nice safe bus, the road is only just wide enough for one car, let alone a truck!

My commute of 10km has just finished for my life. It was about 10km to school in okayish traffic, a bit heavy sometimes.

But next year I get to enjoy a commute along the entire northern Motorway 10km or more of stopped rush hour traffic.

But if you hate the commute that much, buy a helicopter.

I used to commute through some ofthe worst traffic in the north east (US) down I-95 into New Haven. To pass the time and stay sane I would study the habits of drivers and reacurring traffic patterns. By my 3rd year of commuting I was able to shave around 15min off of my commute time.
It was like a game, I kinda miss it, in a sick twisted manner.

w3rd, in-n-out owns me.
if you think commuting is bad, try parking at BYU, it sucks even with faculty parking.

Of course it sucks. BYU just sucks all together.

It usually takes me exactly 30 minutes from door to door.

Fortunately it only takes me 10 minutes at most (barring a blizzard) to get between home and work. Thats something I got used to in a hurry.
