It'll be okay It'll get better...summer time is a breeze, generall I've always found October to be the worst month for commuting... November you'll have the holiday folks for thanksgiving and being off, December you'll have Christmas, January and February some snow days...by March some folks will be calling in sick with spring fever on the warm days, April folks will be spotty - again calling in sick with spring fever, coming out of their cacoons. May - things are definately getting better then June... Summer starts and folks do their vacations, etc.. October has always been the worst for me and I've been commuting into DC for 18 years now - from Dale City, from Waldorf, from Nanjemoy, from Gaithersburg, from Damascus, from Bethesda, from Alexandria, from LaPlata, from Hughesville area, from St. Mary's and back to from Hughesville area... it's all the same. There'll be better days
All I can suggest is get a kick azz stereo system, or get satellite radio, or books on CD or use the time to call folks and catch up on things or even enjoy it as your "alone time" . What's kept me going this long is knowing "it is what it is" make the best of it or make less money
. You'll get used to it. For me it helps to eat breakfast on the way in half way...

Yes, I do feel for those on the bridge... just the same as two girls that started this week at work that are coming in from Bryan's Road, they have to get stuck in that mess just trying to get past it and into DC

I am always safe and never break the speed limit and I would never think of getting in my sleeper while my truck was moving

Hey, I have some stuff you can listen to on the way to work. I bought my Dad some stuff when he was dying and he was too far gone to listen to the CD's so I still have them. One set is called "I thought my father was God" and the other one is Darwin awards, which is about stupid people. I haven't cracked the Darwin awards one open. I'm sure it's funny, but my commute is 15 minutes.......

I work from home as much as possible because my office is in Gaithersburg. Yesterday, I foolishly decided to go in to the office since I had been avoiding it all week. There was an accident on the beltway and after two ours, I hadn't even made it past FedEx field, so I decided to go home rather than continue on and have to do it all again after work. So I took a 3 hour tour and ended right back where I started from!! What a friggin waste of time and gas. Did everyone forget how to drive in the rain?
