The only good thing about the long commute was I listened to the entire GOT series on audiobook, plus several others, plus I was destroying podcasts.

I have a ten mile drive that takes about 14 minutes. I could never do a long commute like some of you.

I've listened to a lot of books the past year and a half during my commute. Including knocking out the entire Dark Tower series (Wizard and Glass was my fave).
Also hit a few dozen Hardcore History podcasts. S-Town. Re-listened to Serial 1 & 2. All of Criminal Podcast. All of More Perfect (really love that one).

You guys are craaaaaazy.
I commute 15 minutes on gravel roads through orchards and vineyards. The only bad part is that it takes me forever to get through a podcast.
I do two or three 8+ hour drives a month, though, so I can burn through some on those.

I work from home. Sometimes I lie in bed in the mornings until 15 minutes before the start of my day. Part of the reason I'm still here - that and my work hours are extremely flexible, so son sick? Np! Doc app? Np! Restless night and too tired to get up? Np!
I'll really miss this when I move on.
I did do a 4 hour/day commute for a year a while back, so I know the feels.

I eat lunch out 3-4 days a week, sometimes more. And I look forward to running errands, since I never really leave the house. WFH has benefits and downsides. My gal also (mostly) WFH, but we have different offices. I like peeking in on her now and again, and midday sex breaks are nice.

I worked at home and cooked all my meals. I liked the cooking aspect, but also the nearest place to eat out was 45 minutes away. Pre internet days (well had dialup 20 years ago) and I worked a lot of nights and even if I lived closer to town not a big choice of places to go out and eat at 2-3 a.m. outside of whataburger. But since it was pre internet days a real lack of people calling distracting me while working at 2am.
But on commuting later on I drove nearly an 1-1/2 hours and I got a ton of work done at that time. The field would be working 24 hours a day on a turn around and I would get updates and touch base with people on the way in to work and when I got to work do actual work. I could call in orders for materials and such on the way in as well since during a turn around a lot of stuff would be open 24 hours a day.
