Aquaticus made a good point if money is not a huge issue you can buy tickets for your commute through MyTravel Discounts on Flying Together under the Travel tab.

I just priced out Next Thur 5/24 with a return on Sun 5/27. The priciest ticket is $200 round trip.

You will get a large pay raise going from year 2 to year 3 use that raise to relive your stress on the days that it looks like the commute is going to be tough. I do this to SFO on occasion, takes alot of stress off.
