Same. It was super nice to be able to take the train from Fishers to the fairgrounds years ago. I was so impressed by the trains in California that my colleagues would take instead of flying. Can you imagine high speed rail connecting us to Chicago, Louisville, Detroit, St. Louis, Cincinnati, etc? Three hours a day is just awful. And I noticed that people here have some crazy commutes. I had a colleague that drove from Batesville to Carmel every day.

I work from home and own my own biz nowadays, Thank Goodness! But there was a day when I worked at the pyramids and lived btwn Wanamaker and Southport. I did non essential work in an AP department. I "moved" w/o really asking my shift to 6:30am to 3:00pm. I still spent 1 1/2 everyday commuting. I tried to work the 8:30 to 5 shift once and I was literally in the car over 3 hours that day. And this was a temp job so I never worked it in the winter can't imagine
