Who here drives to go to work? I love driving but sometimes the long commutes get very tiring- especially stuck in traffic on the way back. Does anyone here have any tips to conquer the dread/tiredness of driving?

Yeah, the traffic is killer. I actually do a rideshare situation with a colleague of mine who lives in my neighborhood. Some days I drive, some days he drives. That way the other person can chill or take a nap, and we save on gas. Maybe see if somebody in your department lives in or around your area?

Oh that’s a really good idea! I might look into this and see who lives near me!

Music playlists are one of the few things getting me through my commute. I’ve actually spent way longer than anybody should have curating them. Also checking out others that I can add to the repertoire.

Oh that’s a good idea- I always skip songs and never know what to put on so that would help curating a playlist!

Good audio books really help. I love to drive but sometimes it can be a chore, if you’ve got a book you love to listen to it can really help get you excited for the commute!

Yes I’m missing a trick here! I always have the intention of listening to an audio book but never do!

Maybe if I get a sponsorship job in UK or US, me too can be saying this, because I don't see it now as something to tire you.

Some of my journeys take about 2/3 hours to get to a job which can be quite tiring- especially if doing it everyday.

If you can car-share I think this really helps! Plus I find a new album to listen to really helps the commute.

Yes I need to find someone new me to car share!

I try to ignore and just stay focused on what I need to do yet sometimes proves challenging. I worry it might affect my professional/career growth. Thoughts on this would be helpful, thanks!

I once asked a colleague at a radio company how much he's paid monthly, and he outright refused to tell me. In fact, he found it very odd that I asked.

I know it's not an employee's job to fix pay inequity by sharing their salary figures, but I'm still of the opinion that it helps uncover pay gaps. But do you think it's wise to do so at the risk of damaging your work environment or the whole thing backfiring on you? Thoughts are welcome.
