Your Commute Is Killing You

These are people that have worked for us for several years. I can't imagine commuting those distances 5-6 days per week, year after year.

Kind of makes you wonder what is the point of living in those types of areas. Yeah you aren't really in the city but you spend a lot more time there between driving and working than you do at home. Also I know I am not the only one that holds my #2's until I get home so I can use my home bathroom. 80 miles is a long ways to hold that!
