Reason #12: Commuting
by Adam & Lara on 02/11/10
It took me an hour to drive 35 miles to and from work every day. I probably worked 48 out of 52 weeks per year on average over the past 4.5 years. I drove at least 90% of the time; the other 10% of the time I took the Caltrain, which would have it's own blog post if they didn't let you drink booze while riding. That's 1080 total days of work, 68,040 miles driven and 2160 hours driving.
That's exactly 3 months that I've spent commuting, which puts it just behind sleep and Human Resource Management 300 as the biggest waste of time in my entire life.
The only other thing I want to say is that while I love the idea of commuting via bicycle, I don't love the idea of sweaty people walking by me in spandex as I drink coffee and read emails*. If I did, I'd work at the Starbucks at 18th and Castro.
*Lara might like it though.
