I work as a property manager. This is a 24/7 on call job. At a certain point, the residents forget I don't care about their lives and am literally here to make sure their toilets work and they pay my boss. Simple, right? I get texts about things that aren't important at midnight, 3 am, 5 am. This has caused me to shut off all notifications around 7pm and not look at my phone until I wake up. Someone might have an emergency, but they've trained me to get sleep instead.
Ok, you win. I’ve heard about bad commutes, but that one nearly takes the rest of your waking hours. When I lived in Los Angeles, I turned down a good job because it would’ve involved a two hour commute each way until my lease expired. I feel like a wimp now.
The DC area is one of the circles of Hell. I lived in rural western Maryland so my kids could grow up in a decent place. We lived near the Potomac, and could see West Virginia from our back porch.
The commuter train is nice, because it doesn't crash when you take a nap on the way.

If I’m talking to my property manager at midnight, the place better be on fire.
Wise!
I love Tabby.
I am a retired computer programmer. The whole internet thing is me looking at work when I am off work.
Army: 15 minute commute, 12 hour day.
Government: 3 hour commute (yes, that's each way), 9 hour day.

That’s how I would have to do it.
Until you end up on Charlestown
Only happened twice, thankfully.
I rode the DC Metro the wrong way several times. Time consuming and embarrassing.
