The train ride itself ain’t the issue. The issue is spending 4 hours getting to/from work.

Congrats on the job butAt 52 I finally got a dream job
Very happy about it but I did have to give up a few things that were really important to me: volunteering as a firefighter, a short commute (2hr now vs 10 minutes [emoji15]) but most of all... working out.
The hardest part is having to accept the fact that by giving up working out - I essentially forced the start of my physical decline.
I basically reached my peak and it will never be better than what is was last year... I’m on full mid-life crisis now... [emoji24][emoji24]
Now I’m becoming aware of the inevitable aging and my own mortality...
Yeah... I’m in one of those moods [emoji855]
True and as I live in neighboring CT the trip for me is 1.5hrs each way and I got a lot of work done while riding the train as I had a work laptop with me.The train ride itself ain’t the issue. The issue is spending 4 hours getting to/from work.
At least it's a train ride, catch some Zzzz's on the in or back.20 minute drive to parking 10 minutes walk to train 1 hour 10 minutes train ride 15 minute walk to office... unfortunately moving is not an option, not to NY city and it’s costs ...
Or get to read a book or newspaper.At least it's a train ride, catch some Zzzz's on the in or back.
A train ride is not bad at all, and I myself used to work in NYC so the commute by train to Wall Street was worth it for me as I didn't also mind the walk from the train station to the building I worked in.
Ouch working late hours with that commute sure kills. Been there done that while working many systems deployment and support projects out in the city. The frenetic pace of the work I did really wore me out every damn day so I did prize the peace and rest I had on the weekends.I agree with you
Going is not so bad, I get up at 5am and by 8 am at work. It’s coming back... I’m often in the office at 8-9pm so I end up in bed after midnight and that doesn’t leave much sleepy time... I might end up getting a studio somewhere in south Bronx. Harlem would be better but way too expensive ... we’ll see.
