The daily commute,You gotta be kidding. [View all]

Had to go out to the suburbs this morning for an early 7am annual medical exam,going out took about 25 minutes,exam took about 20 minutes,drive back into town in rush hour took 2 hours and ten minutes,
Basically you sit in your car and dont move for 5 minutes then you get to slowly advance 20-30ft.
Its amazing that people do this twice every day.Is that bungalow in suburbia really worth that much aggravation and time wasted?
In all the jobs i ever worked i never lived more than a 30 minute walk away from work.
