Two dozen steps from bedroom to coffee pot to office. Double that on mornings when I make a side trip through the garden.
My husband takes the Metrolink to work - 2 hours up and 2 hours back. It's really not a good way to live. We made a lot of mistakes. He should have not been so scared when laid off in 2007 and waited a few more months. He was able to get a job right after President Obama was elected, but it was up in Burbank. More positions were opening up nearer to us, but I think he panicked. People can also cause a great deal of pressure when they say insensitive things to those who are unemployed. A friend said to us, when we received an extension of Cobra benefits so we could pay our health insurance, "I wouldn't take a government 'hand-out'". So lesson here - Be gentle and understanding with people who are laid-off. (Not that this question was meant to invoke a lesson, but I threw it in, free of charge

My daily commute is just about twelve seconds, thank GOD. I used to sit in traffic for 45 - 60 minutes to and from work and I will never do that craziness again.

BIG KUDOS to everyone who has responded thus far! It seems like being able to have flexibility and in a sense "call your own shots" are very positive reasons to love your job and boy, do I agree with you! It's great on a Friday (the 13th for those who cross your fingers) to hear such...
