Long commute to contract - experiences?

[psychocandy]

I've got a 50 mile trip to work every morning, This road trip currently takes me around 1 hour and 15 minutes, through the traffic then I have a 30 minute walk from where I park the car to my desk. Then the return trip home.

I've been doing this for nearly two months. I don't think I have had a contract in the last 2 years that been less then an hours commute.

I thought this was normal

Normal for some people I guess...

Out of interest - whys it 30 mins walk? Aint there anywhere closer?

Must admit I wouldnt fancy that. 1hr plus drive then potential 30 mins in the pissing down rain...

1 hours commute and a 30 minute walk!, you have it good, I have a 2 hour drive and a 60 minute walk, not only that but the rate is so low I can't afford an umbrella, so if it's p*ssing down with rain I get soaking wet.
