    The bigger cost of driving 300 miles per week is the cost to your health and arguably your soul. I quite like my job but man would I drop the commuting tomorrow if I could.

    Indeed, I spent 4 years commuting 80 miles a day - 400 a week. Was OK in the summer but in winter when its dark and raining its no fun at all.
    For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple and wrong.
