    6 hours per day commute, 9 to 5 at my desk. No break for lunch as work through it due to feeling guilty leaving at 5 o'clock on the dot.

    Oh well, life is for others

                strange if I go into the office it takes 45 minutes by car and 22-40 minutes by bike (22 mins is flat out unloaded, I'm not use for much after that so I tend to do that on the way home).
                its faster on the bike either way.

                If I drive to the office outside rush hour its 15 minutes.

                  I don't think you've got this construction lark quite right if you ask me....
                  maybe you are seen as a soft touch? Has the missus been whistling recently?
