My commute was much much better until last December when we moved to new offices. Before I had about a mile commute. The drawback was that whenever something went wrong with the servers, I was the one to go fix or restart them.
As for the VRE, unfortunately it doesn't go anywhere near Foggy Bottom - where I was working when I had to commute. But the way its now is not too shabby. I load the animals into the car, get my last cup of coffee, and drive about 10 minutes to work. Only a few cars. I figure on Tuesday the commute will be more difficult - more snow to deal with. larry >yeah yeah rub it in!
