Commute?

I was wondering if any of you commute to work? And if so, how long does it take you to get to your workplace each way?

There is a hospital an hour from my home that has a wonderful staff and has a level 4 NICU. I'm just not sure how safe it would be to have that commute after a 12 hour shift.

Any advice on what I should do?

Mine is ten minutes, if I walk. Used to work in the next town over, about an hour and forty-five minutes. I stayed there, I don't deal well with night driving and I hate kangaroos, they ding the car up reeeealy bad. This I found out the hard way.

I Commute 65 minutes.. No red lights until the last 1 mile. I do it because its worth living in the country. I used to live half as far away, but it still took 50 minutes to drive home because of all the red lights, that commute was BAAAD! I work 12 hour nights and I am usually good to go in the AM, It is driving home in the dark if I work a 3 to midinight that is a stuggle.

I love this website just because I now have learned that we have Whitetailed deer to contend with and they have Kangeroos!!! I bet they can wreck a car too!!!
