I loose at least a day off commuting back and forth to work every week or so and cut my days off at home in half. Commuting is hard and is not for everyone! I make sure I know ALL of my options before I leave the house and always check the wx. I can commute through 5 different hubs and the one with the best weather wins for the day to hopefully avoid delays and cancellations. (Iowa to California commute, 2-3 legs on a good day!) 6 more months to go before I transfer to ORD and the 2 1/2 hour drive to Chicago will seem like a breeze! Can't wait!
