Then we work 8-5 remotely rest of week with some Teams meetings. Commute to downtown Atlanta is about 1 hour each way without the express toll peach pass. Paying about $5 each way, makes for a 40 minute commute and much safer. So, I pay the fee. The other 8 hours saved from driving is equal to 10 weeks of work, so I don't mind working a long day every now and then if needed when work load increases. I make $10k less but the freedom outside the office shuttling kids to dentist, etc. vs. taking PTO is fine with me. Not to mention, I save 70 miles a day x 4 = 280 miles x 50=14000 miles saved / 20 miles to gallon = 400 gallons of petro at $3 gallon is $2100 saved plus other wear and tear and my sanity. Dry cleaning bill and the shower time is also saved. I just roll out of bed and log onto the computer most days, or drop kids off at school vs. bus and enjoy that extra time. If office ever decided to go back to the pre-covid business dress and daily office hours, a bunch of folks would be actively searching for new jobs.</blockquote>
