I drive 1 hour one way, by car.

Depending on the traffic condition and the time of day I leave home or office this could vary between 1 hour and 1 1/2 hours.

It is the price I pay for getting the best of both worlds, IT and the outdoors. We own a rural property under the guise as a farm on the wayside of the farthest city borders.

I do remote into the office occasionally but the connection speeds here does not make that a real pleasant or productive experience so it very rarely used. So for the privileged joy of starry nights combined with a good career I have accepted that drive/traffic time is a part of life, as even in the worst of traffic days I just cannot fathom living in the concrete jungle.
