Dont do it!!!! I used to do a 120km round trip commute every day. It nearly killed me. I hated it and eventually had to stop. Why not move closer to the job?

It nearly killed you?confused
If I was to commute daily I would need to get up at 5 oclock and leave shortly afterwards as the job starts at 6:30 but on the upside it finishes at 2:30 so I was thinking maybe it wouldnt be so baddunno

2 to 3 hours behind the wheel everyday is no way for anyone to spend their life. Thats at least 15 hours a week driving to and from work.dunno

I worked on a job in waterford which meant I was driving 3 and a half hours a day so after a couple of weeks I got a place down there but there was a bloke working on the site who was from near galway city, he drove to work every day for the six weeks he was working on the job in waterford , driving 7 to 8 hours a day and by every friday he looked like something from a zombie movie.
