  • It's usually 20 minutes on the way in and 15 on the way home. (Work until midnight so when I'm going home a lot of the lights are flashing yellows)

    That's such a good point.  I'm ALWAYS running into coworkers on the weekends.

    I seriously love it. Most of my coworkers live within 15 minutes of the school, so they think I'm crazy. I'm not the one having an impromptu parent-teacher conference in the bread aisle on a Saturday morning.

    This is me.  Once we move, it'll be back up to 20, but that's still better than what it was!

    I'm fairly used to it at this point. And now that I get to work from home one day a week, going up to 2 days next year, it's less obnoxious.
