5 minute driving commute for me - 4 if I catch the lights. Great easy walk through the marina when I feel like it too.

Maybe once a month I have to sit in traffic to go somewhere. If I have to sit for even 10 minutes I find myself wondering how anybody can stand to commute.

I suppose it never occurred to me to have a career that required it - learned it from my dad I guess. He still goes home everyday for lunch and to walk the dog - has done for 40+ years.

One of the few silver linings to the covid situation is I hope some of the work at homes start to wake up to the amount of their lives they waste commuting. My friend has driven from north van to Port Kells everyday for 20 years. He's been home now for 2 months - he can't believe the difference. It just hadn't really occurred to him before how much time he was wasting.

BIC BAWS - I won't pretend to understand the cultural requirement that says you have to move back in w your parents anyways in 5-10 years, but FOR SURE don't do it until you have to. How far do you live from your job now? Find a rental within a few minutes of your workplace. It will change your life.
