Stimulants were the housewife's pep pill in the 50's. How else did they get everything done?
EatsBees
I fucking can't, and IDGAF if I look less like an adult. I struggle with my mental health as it is
I think I know how you feel. I wish more people would consider others have different limits and problems than themselves. High struggling 5!
lhasafever
Well, how could the world better accommodate you?
spookyactionatadistance
Post war relics??? People used to work way more than 40hrs. And the whole family worked or else kids would starve.
AndrewBrandon
I'm working 72 hours a week (mandatory OT) and the wife works around 50. I'm amazed if anything gets done around the house.
I'd be dead in the 3rd week
I'm on my 5th month of it. Not expecting to go back to 8 hour shifts till the first of the year.
Problemwoodchuck
I used to work 60 or 70 hours a week. Just keeping an apartment clean was hard, nevermind a house.
burley007
yeah man, i'm in the same boat right now. it was an accomplishment i managed to do my laundry today
Ringshadow
I used to work 6 12 hour shifts a week. And yeah. If I hadn't been staying in hotels during that I would have gotten overwhelmed by chores.
scrambledeggbrains
Thank you. I really needed that today.
Eiladar
Not even post-war; the 40 hour week was a _limit_, since people were working far more in the early part of the last century. They also had a
spouse at home full time, and usually several kids doing chores as well on top of all that. Dickensonian times.
squatlow17
It's not that hard. You just keep kn top of it. I work a ft and a pt job and train to compete as an athlete.
znexx
I do none of these :) *stresses out internally*
dmun823
I really needed to hear this
jdmorri
Wait until you have kids!
KyBassPlayer
Agreed. My wife and I do all of this & have a 3 and 4 yr old. I also own a small business and I'm in a band. I'm kinda tired :)
Please don't say that to total strangers because, speaking as a sterile person, one of us might haul off and slug you.
MidnightBreakfastClub
Your downvotes confuse me. I had a friend break down and cry when she got the news and it still hurts her years later...

Add 2 kids then remove the spouse.

Not gonna lie, this post makes me feel better.
Filanwizard
People used to be able to afford the rent on an apartment near their job on only 40hrs.
fruitspunchsam
Did all this while going to school, full load, took me being more mature though couldn’t do it in my early 20s
Love2Poop
I was agreeing and then realized he meant all of them at once. I can't even keep either of those things up independently.
DarPhyve
GF and I manage this perfectly fine, we both work 40+ hour weeks.
De3ufiei37f
If you work 40hrs and cook for yourself every day, exercise and go out on the weekends, you're probably never home long enough to dirty it.
Also cooking isn't that hard? Make a turkey or a baked pasta dish; that can hold you over for a week. Supplement with eggs/cereal.
kkanne20
takes two of us to do it, and the apartment is only super clean like once a month.
More than enough tbh
Sleep24Seven
Anyone who can do this has my respect. I can't even maintain a part-time job without neglecting everything else.
whatthehell13
If you work 8 and sleep 8 that leaves you another 8 for yourself... work out for an hour and minus transportation you have 6 to 5 ...
stevencloser
That's if you work from your bed.
Iloveanonymityandilovebeingnoticed
Lol, I have no job and can’t manage the rest.
jerisun
I work a 24-72 schedule (work 24 hours straight off for 72) and it’s the only way I’ve found it to be doable without over exhausting myself
RearAdmiralObvious
I work 55hr weeks normally. Sometimes more, but I make due by either give up on cleaning or cooking. Pick up something like wings and clean
Or just not clean and cook. Works pretty well
PirateofthePancreas
I have zero problem doing all of these. Home at 6, workout by 7, dinner by 745, Xbox or drinks until bed. No kids though
pawnagain
Yeah exactly. Throw two kids in and degree of difficulty escalates massively.
superfeathers
It doesn't even list kids. Without them, it's really not that difficult.

Right there with you. Sticking to the routine gets me through it. Stay strong
Yup! Routine is everything
powderedwigs
I was traveling 100% of the time, I had to tell my boss I needed a break to take care of some stuff at home. I basically had to tell him.(1)
I was single and none of the basic necessities was getting done at home if I wasn’t home to do it. I have since found a new job.(2)
applesforjuice
100%? why have a home? Genuinely asking. I travel sometimes 75% sometimes 25% it's random but if I wasn't needed in the office I wouldn't 1
Pay for an apt. I'd get worn out eventually sure but until then I'd just get a storage unit and register my address as my parents place
JerkFace4U
Because you quit? Or because you were fired?

Safebox36
That's my current situation. Travelling overseas every week, back for the weekend, repeat. Work is good but travel is killing me.
That’s what I was doing. Flying out Monday, flying home Friday. It was the absolute worst. Put a strain on my relationships. Glad I got out
nightof11bangbangs
God that sounds amazing. I wpuld totally do that which means they are not hiring lol
RAMBLEM
What kind of work allows for travel back home each week? I usually travel 2-3 months at a time.
The kind of company that doesn’t want to pay for your shit on the weekend unless you work so I say “fine I’m flying home then.”
I live in Northern Ireland and we have to fly to the client in England because we're 80% cheaper to pay :-/
Software dev, I was lied to about sitting in an office all day.
DrKriegersClone
Anything that sends you to different places pretty frequently vs one for months at a time?
Most jobs that send you to different places frequently do site to site travel plans. Going home each weekend, especially overseas, is unique
fotza
I work 70+ hrs a week and enjoy weekends. The more u work the less ur at home to make a big mess and have more beer money
That's the spirit
canyouthriveat35
I work less than you (about 50 ish hrs) but am not home enough to mess it up. Still get to enjoy my weekend!
Sinus23
That makes sense when you live alone. Took me a year to mess up my room while not cleaning it because I'm almost never there.
TheImmaculateDrunk
I make #4 possible by not doing #3 or #5.
DARfuckinROCKS
I don't do 2 or 5 often. My house is a mess and I always order food.
Yeah same
Rignak
Scratch #3 and #5 for me and the spouse. But, I get points back cause my job is heavy manual labor tradesman. Still hard to do.
It would be nice if a living wage could be had for less hours. Wonder when the 1% is gonna share?
galvertez
i'm able to do all of them. very poorly on all fronts, but at least i'm *consistently* shitty
mewtooie
I made #4 possible by not doing the rest

Bootsy81
I cook dinner (maybe) twice a week and just make enough to do four nights at once.
MilesGates
What sort of meals do you make.
Lots of stuff tbh, slow cooker is a god send, one pot stuff or things like a big pot of bolognese.
dildonics
I make #3 and #5 possible by not doing #4. I definitely think you have the better idea.
MrRandom314159
I half-ass #3,#4,and #5 by switching off every day or so. My boss isn't happy every 3rd day, but life's about balance.

Yes. Clean while you lean, and little tasks over time.

Kazpur8lS
Wait, you mean you actually do #2? Nice work...
evildude344
Gotta love a nice home cooked frozen pizza
historyrepeatsitself
I mean, Ramen counts as cooking right?
OriginalNameDoNotSteal
just like masturbation counts as sex
Yeah, I skip 2 quite often as well.
badgerkin
I found that if I solely focused on #2 and got my wife to help clean after then the rest really doesn't matter. Healthy eating makes way 1/
circegirl
I think you missed the point-single people don't have someone to help out
2/ for a lot of other healthy choices. Start in the kitchen and work outward.
3/ and by the rest I mean everything other than work. We both work.
OneHandedComent
Does cook count as buying fast food?
Kaesden
Only if you reheat it in the microwave.

Well, there's cooking involved somewhere along the way...
SnugglesaurusRex
I could do all those things I suppose, but I would be so fucking bored all the time, I'd want to kill myself. We're turning into machines.

Exactly, all of that is possible, even more can be done with more than sweet 40hrs work weeks but are we living to work? Nope
According to?
According to me
strangerthingies
people who comment they can do all this with all those hours must have really uneventful jobs with short commute times or theyre liars
bawtzki
Short commute is a huge time saver. My gym is also about 50 meters away from my apartment so that's another huge chunk of time saved
SnoopyDancing
some people require little sleep, like 6 hours, they have more time in the day, not me, just sayin
doesnt matter im pointing out that most jobs that require lots of energy dont allow people to have the energy to do this stuff
valdemarjoergensen
During Uni, not work but more hours than 40/week. Gym every morning, exclusively ate selfmade dinner, spotles apartment and weekends for fun
To be fair my commute was 5 minutes, small space to clean, but mostly it just took a long time to find a system that worked to me.
i could study for 50-60 hours a week and still have plenty of energy for all those extras. my main point is a tiring job doesnt alloe for it
But shouldn't the majority of people have non physical jobs by now? My job is a lot less demanding than my studies were.
some stuff cant be automated

Decstorose
Plenty of people are born into circumstances that make life pretty categorically hard. Also, this is just a dumb generalization.
Slartibartfast75
Broad generalizations like that are always wrong :)
PrettyGreen
I honestly think I *could* do all these things, but I'm absolutely sure I'd be fucking exhausted with no time to just...sit.
Anyone that does do all that though is quite often (not always) trying to distract themselves from some pretty bad psychological shit.
tiredofyall
I cry often bc I cannot maintain all of these things ... so I’m fat, enjoy 1 weekend per 1/4, dwelling cleanliness varies, career is fine
Anyone that I’ve met that seems to maintain all of this is just appearances and deep down they struggle like all of us who admit
@ those who say they can do all of them easily, please consider to fuck right off ❤️
Lonewolfing
Different people, different habits. Can still all be nice to each other I think.

Hahahaha 40h working. Hahaha 56 sleeping. My exercise is the stress my "fun" is the commute
I legitimately do feel lazy pretty often
iguessihaveto
So, this assumes you don't need a laundromat, spend an average of 11 minutes preparing each meal, assuming you eat 3 a day, and consider
Out of the home errands like grocery shopping, and things like showers and shitting to be fun. I guess if you're easily amused.
Plus you didn't account for actually eating the food, or for lunch breaks at work. Dunno where you live, but where I am the work day is 8.5
SigynRose
How do you only spend 4 hours a week cooking?
Purpl3y3s

Verinisgettingannoyedathavingtoreselectmydamnusernameeverytime
It throws a spanner in to that plan if people work more than 8 hours a day or has to commute to shops/gym/recreation. Fuck your attitude
kimmie71490
Start your day earlier. Easy to things done, clean up as you go.
Easier to get things**
ironwolf6896
Work 8 hours, go to the gym for 1-2 after work each day, drive home, make food, and tell me you have energy for anything else that day.
Weekends are for shopping, laundry, cleaning the house, etc. Maybe Sunday you relax because no businesses are open. I don't even have kids.
Plus by the time you have free time after work it's 7-8 at night depending on your shift, later for me.
Oh, 5 hours commuting? Guess I'll go to work every day and just not bother coming back home.
You are a foolosh and hateful person. I don't like you.

44 hrs a week here. All that plus 2 night shifts at a different spot. There are 24 hrs in a day. It's all about how you chose to use them
We all have the same 24hrs makes alot of assumptions about avaliable reasources & oppertunities.
Have to commute, bound to a public transport schedule, dont have an internal laundry, or local grocery store, only have a kitchenette,
Work nights, work shifting schedules, have roomates, have kids, have health problems. Little changes to what a defualt day looks like
Changes how much time, money & effort simple actions are. We dont all have the same oppertunity within our 24hrs

Aye, but not everyone has to spend that time the same. You can manage all you want but if you drive 2 hours for work every day you're >
still gonna have 2 less hours to do stuff every day than someone who works from home.
Right? I thought I was the only one.
tsooji
My "part-time" job works me 60-70 hours a week. I feel like if i could get down to 40 i would find it all very manageable.
rvt2
Been there done that... It was easy, but you have make sure you pre-plan accordingly and not dwell on decisions.
And there are people regularly working 100 hour work week crunches.
I'd call this bullshit. Unless you work monday-sunday and get everything else done for you. You'd die pretty young.
That's how thy make red dead redemption 2 :)
What does that have to do with anything? The tweets were talking about 40hr/week jobs.
And if one of those crunchers came to you comment section to brag how easy that is for them, what would you think?
Even working 100 hours a week, and counting 8 hours per night of sleep you have 105 min of free time per day.
ctun
You really gonna feel like getting the vacuum out for a quick once around the around the house during those precious 105 minutes.

If you're young employee, employer expect you to work overtime without pay(salary) and lot of people tend to spend 2-4h commuting.

You’re probably just boring is my best guess
What I do on weekends: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Ru7zQ_-ofU
Ooooh, so your just pretentious, that can explain it too
Way to go Rich!
People don't wanna put in the extra effort, even with long commutes...that's a personal effort on them to do more. But most don't.
ACSwineburne
Have you ever been faced with anything close to a 2 hour commute? I'll go ahead and assume no as yours was a fucking asinine assumption.
Sometime ago, but I chose that was a bad job...so I got a better one. More time and better pay...I don't let my job kill me like it does
Others unfortunately. That's the only way you can enjoy some off time and learn good management...it can be tough to change but you can.
HeavyMetalMonk
Same, and add in some kid responsibilities too. House could be cleaner but it's fine. It's not that hard. 40 hours means you can still 1/
I get between 6 to 8 hours do work come home and still cook and have time with the kid as well...folks just don't put in effort, simple.
arewenotkingsandqueenstogether
Or, not everyone has it as easy as you.
I worked to make mine easy. If you don't like something about it change it. That within itself can ha a lot of work...but can be worth
It, but if you don't work to change that and all you do is bitch, then the only thing your doing is disappointing yourself.
Or, people bitch and assume their life is harder than everyone else's.
Why assume everyone is lying and lazy?
Everybody has this whiney attitude, but doesn't seem to have the will to make real effort to change something they don't like...it's on them
Sleep 8 hours a night...what are these people doing with the other 8 hours? Gym 1.5, dinner 1, chores 1. 4.5 hrs left.
Commuting 2, unpaid work 3, kids 2
Well 3 more hours a day working isn't a 40 hour work week is it?
elucca
I sure don't have the energy to do 8 hours of anything active after 8 hours of work. Very individual, and depends on what the work is too.
So we agree it's not a time issue. It's a priority issue.
I mean, not necessarily? If you're tired out by your job you can't make more energy by prioritizing. Unless "don't work" is an option.
znuff
Some people commute 1-2 hours a day
This is our century cancer. This needs to be addressed ASAP. Life goes by commutating, sad.
iDrinkDrano
Extremely good point. I can manage this but my commute is only 15 minutes and I only sleep about 5 hours a day so I end up with time.
sixgun9000
About 3 minutes in and 5 minutes back home. When I was hired, I moved into the same neighborhood.
AntmanSalutesAmericasAss
This ^
OF37
Yep a total of 2 hours minimum each day, sometimes i can achieve the daily list, others I'm just dead. Dreading the time I will have kids
jkpotatoe
If you're dreading having kids then you probably shouldn't have kids
No shit? Got none, and none on the way
Well you said you were dreading the time you will have kids which implies you are having kids in the future.
battlepants
If your commute is exercise, becomes much easier to get that exercise in.
blkbox
I don't get how people commute for 1-2 hours a day by car then spend 2-6 hours in a gym every week.
Becomes easier when it becomes a stress outlet. Consider how many play video games, watch TV or fuck around on Imgur for 2-6 hours a week.
But it can be a stress outlet just as well when commuting? I bike 1hr to get to work and it's a hell of a workout.
That would make my commute 3hrs per day round trip.
pokebug666
If your commute is exercise, I hope there's a shower where you work.
Yep, they have a tiny gym and a locker room with 3 showers.
Alkuam2
Some of us did 4.
That's a completely different issue from a 40hr work week though, that's a commute issue.

SnossedAndLost
Preach! My main issue is discipline and my routine is constantly changing to fit other random plans so I cant always do everything everyday.
Oh random plans are the biggest vice. I make sure to keep my routine m-f the same and work out light in the morning on weekends to keep it..
The same. If i sleep in it wastes too much time. Stuff random plans in after the workout on weekends.
What are your dogs doing 8hrs a day?
Chillin at my house. They have a doggie door to the back yard and free reign of the house so... whatever they want i guess.
Ahh ok then they should be happy
Well they sure act like it lol.
Week, take 12 credits of college per semester including summer and winter

How much adderall are you prescribed?
Haha they tried to prescribe it to me but i never took any. I do however drink my weight in coffee.
Coffee stopped working for me as a pick me up a half a lifetime of mine ago and I don't use any other uppers.
Gotta cycle off for a while, lower the tolerance.
Do you sleep?
I try for 8 hours but I tend to get 7.

Hey thanks! And congrats on the behbeh.
SpringToMyWinter
Serious, sincere question: how much actual “down” time to do nothing do you have?
Not counting 7-8 hours of sleep i'd say i have about an hour maybe 2 per day.
Maybe im just lazy, but that wouldn’t be enough for me to rest/unwind/enjoy my time after everything else. But you do you.
I really enjoy my gym time, without it i wouldnt be able to manage the rest. It helps my mood and how i feel about everything.
pissinginmyownsundressmakesmehard
TV is for the weak.
Yeah ill watch movies some times but i never just sit and watch tv.
I'm pretty much in the same boat. It's about discipline which can be tough. I certainly don't do it all consistently though, like my ...
... dinners are usually leftover from making insane amounts of food at once, I dont ALWAYS walk my dog and my exercise is either running...
.. or biking with my dog or climbing which are all interchangeable with no schedule or variance. And I can put in my hours for studying...
... at my own convenience but I still am trying to do around 15 hours a week (admittedly struggling on that atm)
15 is a lot, tried once and i feel like my grades slipped. Glad to hear it though, so much negative "existential crisis" shit on here lately

Post war relics??? People used to work way more than 40hrs. And the whole family worked or else kids would starve.
AndrewBrandon
I'm working 72 hours a week (mandatory OT) and the wife works around 50. I'm amazed if anything gets done around the house.
ToAoRoS
I'd be dead in the 3rd week
AndrewBrandon
I'm on my 5th month of it. Not expecting to go back to 8 hour shifts till the first of the year.
Problemwoodchuck
I used to work 60 or 70 hours a week. Just keeping an apartment clean was hard, nevermind a house.
burley007
yeah man, i'm in the same boat right now. it was an accomplishment i managed to do my laundry today
Ringshadow
I used to work 6 12 hour shifts a week. And yeah. If I hadn't been staying in hotels during that I would have gotten overwhelmed by chores.
scrambledeggbrains
Thank you. I really needed that today.
Eiladar
Not even post-war; the 40 hour week was a _limit_, since people were working far more in the early part of the last century. They also had a
Eiladar
spouse at home full time, and usually several kids doing chores as well on top of all that. Dickensonian times.

It's not that hard. You just keep kn top of it. I work a ft and a pt job and train to compete as an athlete.

Agreed. My wife and I do all of this & have a 3 and 4 yr old. I also own a small business and I'm in a band. I'm kinda tired :)

Please don't say that to total strangers because, speaking as a sterile person, one of us might haul off and slug you.

Not gonna lie, this post makes me feel better.
Filanwizard
People used to be able to afford the rent on an apartment near their job on only 40hrs.

Did all this while going to school, full load, took me being more mature though couldn’t do it in my early 20s

I was agreeing and then realized he meant all of them at once. I can't even keep either of those things up independently.
DarPhyve
GF and I manage this perfectly fine, we both work 40+ hour weeks.
De3ufiei37f
If you work 40hrs and cook for yourself every day, exercise and go out on the weekends, you're probably never home long enough to dirty it.
De3ufiei37f
Also cooking isn't that hard? Make a turkey or a baked pasta dish; that can hold you over for a week. Supplement with eggs/cereal.
kkanne20
takes two of us to do it, and the apartment is only super clean like once a month.
ToAoRoS
More than enough tbh

Anyone who can do this has my respect. I can't even maintain a part-time job without neglecting everything else.

If you work 8 and sleep 8 that leaves you another 8 for yourself... work out for an hour and minus transportation you have 6 to 5 ...

I work a 24-72 schedule (work 24 hours straight off for 72) and it’s the only way I’ve found it to be doable without over exhausting myself
RearAdmiralObvious
I work 55hr weeks normally. Sometimes more, but I make due by either give up on cleaning or cooking. Pick up something like wings and clean
RearAdmiralObvious
Or just not clean and cook. Works pretty well
PirateofthePancreas
I have zero problem doing all of these. Home at 6, workout by 7, dinner by 745, Xbox or drinks until bed. No kids though

Yeah exactly. Throw two kids in and degree of difficulty escalates massively.

I was traveling 100% of the time, I had to tell my boss I needed a break to take care of some stuff at home. I basically had to tell him.(1)
powderedwigs
I was single and none of the basic necessities was getting done at home if I wasn’t home to do it. I have since found a new job.(2)
applesforjuice
100%? why have a home? Genuinely asking. I travel sometimes 75% sometimes 25% it's random but if I wasn't needed in the office I wouldn't 1
applesforjuice
Pay for an apt. I'd get worn out eventually sure but until then I'd just get a storage unit and register my address as my parents place

That's my current situation. Travelling overseas every week, back for the weekend, repeat. Work is good but travel is killing me.

nightof11bangbangs
God that sounds amazing. I wpuld totally do that which means they are not hiring lol
RAMBLEM
What kind of work allows for travel back home each week? I usually travel 2-3 months at a time.
powderedwigs
The kind of company that doesn’t want to pay for your shit on the weekend unless you work so I say “fine I’m flying home then.”
Safebox36
I live in Northern Ireland and we have to fly to the client in England because we're 80% cheaper to pay :-/
Safebox36
Software dev, I was lied to about sitting in an office all day.
DrKriegersClone
Anything that sends you to different places pretty frequently vs one for months at a time?
RAMBLEM
Most jobs that send you to different places frequently do site to site travel plans. Going home each weekend, especially overseas, is unique

Lots of stuff tbh, slow cooker is a god send, one pot stuff or things like a big pot of bolognese.
dildonics
I make #3 and #5 possible by not doing #4. I definitely think you have the better idea.

I mean, Ramen counts as cooking right?

just like masturbation counts as sex
Maldraek
Yeah, I skip 2 quite often as well.
badgerkin
I found that if I solely focused on #2 and got my wife to help clean after then the rest really doesn't matter. Healthy eating makes way 1/
circegirl
I think you missed the point-single people don't have someone to help out
badgerkin
2/ for a lot of other healthy choices. Start in the kitchen and work outward.

3/ and by the rest I mean everything other than work. We both work.

people who comment they can do all this with all those hours must have really uneventful jobs with short commute times or theyre liars

Short commute is a huge time saver. My gym is also about 50 meters away from my apartment so that's another huge chunk of time saved
SnoopyDancing
some people require little sleep, like 6 hours, they have more time in the day, not me, just sayin

doesnt matter im pointing out that most jobs that require lots of energy dont allow people to have the energy to do this stuff
valdemarjoergensen
During Uni, not work but more hours than 40/week. Gym every morning, exclusively ate selfmade dinner, spotles apartment and weekends for fun
valdemarjoergensen
To be fair my commute was 5 minutes, small space to clean, but mostly it just took a long time to find a system that worked to me.
strangerthingies
i could study for 50-60 hours a week and still have plenty of energy for all those extras. my main point is a tiring job doesnt alloe for it

Plenty of people are born into circumstances that make life pretty categorically hard. Also, this is just a dumb generalization.

So, this assumes you don't need a laundromat, spend an average of 11 minutes preparing each meal, assuming you eat 3 a day, and consider

Out of the home errands like grocery shopping, and things like showers and shitting to be fun. I guess if you're easily amused.

Work 8 hours, go to the gym for 1-2 after work each day, drive home, make food, and tell me you have energy for anything else that day.
ironwolf6896
Weekends are for shopping, laundry, cleaning the house, etc. Maybe Sunday you relax because no businesses are open. I don't even have kids.
ironwolf6896
Plus by the time you have free time after work it's 7-8 at night depending on your shift, later for me.

Others unfortunately. That's the only way you can enjoy some off time and learn good management...it can be tough to change but you can.

Commuting 2, unpaid work 3, kids 2
HeavyMetalMonk
Well 3 more hours a day working isn't a 40 hour work week is it?
elucca
I sure don't have the energy to do 8 hours of anything active after 8 hours of work. Very individual, and depends on what the work is too.
HeavyMetalMonk
So we agree it's not a time issue. It's a priority issue.
elucca
I mean, not necessarily? If you're tired out by your job you can't make more energy by prioritizing. Unless "don't work" is an option.

Well you said you were dreading the time you will have kids which implies you are having kids in the future.
battlepants
If your commute is exercise, becomes much easier to get that exercise in.
blkbox
I don't get how people commute for 1-2 hours a day by car then spend 2-6 hours in a gym every week.
battlepants
Becomes easier when it becomes a stress outlet. Consider how many play video games, watch TV or fuck around on Imgur for 2-6 hours a week.
blkbox
But it can be a stress outlet just as well when commuting? I bike 1hr to get to work and it's a hell of a workout.

That would make my commute 3hrs per day round trip.
