Tell me about your commute.

[Bearcat]

It's a 7-10 minute drive by highway or ~12 minutes otherwise. I decide on which one each morning I drive over the highway and look at the traffic. Either way, I spend those minutes listening to music and yelling at people to speed up or get out of the freakin' fast lane.

Before that, my commute was 0.5 mile, which was wonderful, and before that I telecommuted for about a year. I don't know how people drive 30+ minutes each way, unless there's no traffic... I drive across town quite a bit, but I don't have the patience for a commute like OP to downtown, especially in bad weather (and bad weather to KC drivers can mean sprinkles, snow flurries, a wet road 3 days after it snowed, dark clouds in the area...).
