My commute is mostly local nowadays. 30-45 min drive to client, or 75 mins to the office. Doesn't matter how long the commute is, WFH is always nicer.

Not the same, but great commute, but have been on the project for 2+ years and really want to roll off but PM who happens to be my counselor wants me to stay on through August. I'm now mailing it in on my work bc my soul feels dead and discouraged. Good luck, OP!

@k1 yikes. When time and day did you leave the client

Monday and Thursdays were basically all-day travel. Onsite at client only Tuesday and Wednesday.

Not too bad. Some people are sunday- Friday

Serious billing question - if during the course of the day, you first receive an email from Client A at say 11:10am and you read it, you then respond to it at 12:20pm. You get another email at 2pm from Client A and respond immediately. The next email comes in at 4pm, you read it and respond only at 4:30pm. None of the email responses take more than 3-5mins. You are working on matters for other clients at all other times during the day. How much are you billing for Client A?
