30 miles on the freeway and traffic is nearly always light. I just cruise at the speed limit and enjoy a morning podcast.
It’s actually quite relaxing.
I work hybrid. When my commute is not from the bedroom to my office, I have to take a 20+ mile grueling ride on the expressway in mostly stop and go traffic that averages at least 45 minutes. If it rains it’s at least an hour. If it snows, I work from home.
Commute to where? Hell and back? The doctor’s office? Living room to the refrigerator to make a margarita? Or from your home to go to a Georgia Red sports game? Or in the case of my cats from my their bed to their food to my their chair…?
It’s awful! Have to roll out of bed and walk down the hall to the office, with bathroom/kitchen/whatever else needs to be done in between.
Maybe it’s time to consider working in bed…
What is this commute of what you speak?
Staying home.
Retired. Moving my head to the other side of the pillow.
Staying in bed.
@Pony your commute sounds dreamy!
Once the weather is nice, a cool 30 minute bicycle ride

Bedroom to bathroom, round-trip at least once a night.
<sigh>
Otherwise, just a retired person.
I now commute to the less murdery shed, which is basically the same distance as ye olde murder shed, except I have elevation gain now.
A short walk
Bed to Shower to Kitchen (Coffee!!) to Office
I work from home.
Learn the exact bureaucracy point at which you can’t be fired anymore and ride it. It’s not unethical because your employer does it to you.
Downstairs…

@heartny somehow you and I have the same commute. Fascinating.
At 70+ working isn’t in the vocabulary, nor is commute.

If I have to commute then it means a flight across 3/4 of the country. I typically only have to do that once a year.
The walk from my bed to my chair is rough, but the detour to the coffee makes it worthwhile.
To the back yard and shop. Playtime!
