Yup, 96 miles ONE WAY. lol Not all highway that way, it's a state highway, then some surface streets to cross over to a bypass, and then onto an interstate, then onto another state highway, then surface streets and interchanges. I could go all highway (state highway to interstate to state highway) but that's about 101 miles, takes the same amount of time though because interstate is 70MPH most of the way. I switch between the different routes to keep life interesting.
So, yeah, I spend about 3 hours and a half hours a day driving to and from work. LMAO
It's temporary, I left the auto repair/insurance industry to move into tech, been planning it for years, got a break (I thought) with a mom and pop MSP but the owner turned out to be a psycho. Hired me knowing my entry skillset and most of my training in an area he didn't need. Yelled at me for not asking questions about exactly what needed to be done, then yelled at me for asking questions he deemed "moronic". Screamed at me over the phone while with a customer so loud the customer kind of coughed and left the room....LOL He had a super specific way he wanted everything done......and refused to tell you what that was, if you guessed you were wrong...if you had to ask you were wasting his time. First boss in my 26 years of working I could not please.
Anyway, had to jump ship after 3 months of that trainwreck and had to fall back on my decades of experience, took the first job I could find. We're going to have to move out of state in about 3-4 months for my wife's job so I will hopefully have my CCNA cert by then and be able to get into IT with a real company with a normal boss, and a normal commute.
