I know it has the reputation of being one of the seven deadly sins, but is a 1 leg commute to somewhere like ORD as difficult as some make it out to be?
I commute for reserve, i am one of few who prefer to be reserve over a line holder. Since, i believe at my seniority i can get a more flexible schedule as a reservist.
Yesterday, was my last day of my reserve bucket and i didn't feel like working, so i put myself on "Call first - No" and went to the movies...
And will get paid for it since i already broke guarantee...
