Now, I *love* my commute and the coworkers are generally enjoyable. Plus, I can often leave the office for whatever reason and come back later, given that we are a self-managing office about half the time.

Commute is about 10 minutes in rush hour (normally meaning mornings when people are going to school or university).

I noticed significant improvement in my career when I no longer had to bill hours, since that drove me absolutely nuts.
