THE LONG COMMUTE

Is a reality for many working people around any large city. Hours on the road or the GO train or the subway are daily grinds in the GTA. Saturday brings the peace of staying home or shopping- what errands need to be done. Some drives are an hour on a good day. Weather, road repairs, accidents can extend the time regularly. Why do we do it? What compels us to work hours away from our homes? In my workplace, there are many facing a long commute every day. There are hospitals where they live but they chose to work here. Since I have no real travel time- 20 minutes walking or 5 minutes by car is nothing! Do you have a long commute? How do you use the time? Do you feel your time is wasted?
