No need to get dressed.
I was in Norfolk. In 2013 my working week started at 3am to drive 300 miles to the Lake District to be in the office by 8am. Later in the week it was down to Crewe for a few days and back home (mostly) by Friday.
Which is why I have ended up somewhat closer to the centre of the country and now choose if and when I work and there is no such thing as a regular commute
Bedroom 1 -> Bathroom -> Back to Bedroom 1 to get dressed -> Kitchen -> Bedroom 3 (Which is my office)
Somewhere in between that lot I go and buy a newspaper, though I vary the sequence. Just because I like to live on the edge...
My only concession to home working is, whilst I do get dressed as if I were meeting a client, I wear slippers as much as I can in the day.
Now back living full time in South East of England I get to enjoy a 1.5 hour commute on our wonderful railways. I never (and I do mean never) get a seat for my £50 per day ticket. Lot's of my fellow travelers have suffered burglaries where their soap, toothpaste and deodorant have been stolen. Some find farting funny, when it is not. The trains are late at least 75% of the time they actually are running and not cancelled. I have long since given up attempting to drink a cup of tea on the train. I usually end up wearing my fellow travelers tea all over my suit. My stress levels are seriously high, to the point I actually sought professional advice an how to manage them when commuting. If there is a hell? This is not far away from it.
I don't understand. Even if you worked 365 days a year, and worked 12 hours a day, that's still averaging 22mph. I can barely average that on my way to work bombing it on the motorway for the 7 miles between sliproads.
What am I missing?
2 beautiful cars and you don't even have a commute??? Sacrilege.
Me and the Mrs love Norfolk and came pretty close to moving there three years ago. Quite relieved that I didn't, now, as although getting to London is OK getting anywhere else can be a real ball ache.
I thinks it's fair to say you've earned it!

Until last year it was Essex to LHR every week and off to some location, normally NYC.
Now it is a simple 2 hour door to door slog using car, train and tube, I feckin hate it, but where else can I earn 56.3 zillion pounds a year?
It's fair to say Norfolk is a county you have to go to purposely, nothing passes through us to get elsewhere.
We are quite insular I guess.
Yes, quite right! Which is why we will probably return there if and when both of us have given up work completely.
Besides, I think I left a son there, better check what he is up too....
