Commuting doesn't bother me. I don't stress over loads or give it much thought. Can't get to work? So what. Once or twice a year I get stuck at work trying to get home, and that is frustrating. On reserve you'll typically loose a half day to day each week on your days off. Ideally you live where you can easily have a commutable schedule on each end of a trip. Otherwise you'll be coming in the night before or going home the next day.
