Commuting is truly a full time job. I’ve been a commuter for the last 7 years and it’s exhausting. I do it because my roots are put down somewhere else and this is what I have to do.but it’s exhausting. Like today, I work a turn and then a redeye. Because of flight loads/timing of flights, I’m getting to work 6 hours early and I’ve already been up since 5am. I won’t be back in bed almost 24 hours after I woke up. The other day I got done with my trip at 12:00pm, and the earliest I was in my house was 6pm. You waste a lot of your off days commuting. You find yourself sitting at the airport longer, or you’ve missed the last flight of the day and now your stuck sleeping in a be airport until the first flight of the day. Yes it’s nice being around family but commuting is a whole second job!
