July 9, 2007 The Question: How do you survive the morning commute?
The Answer: “I think I'm going to be one of the ones in the Top 10 for commutes. I live in MD and work in Washington D.C. I have an hour and a half commute each way. This is actually improved, as I have had up to two hours or more in times past (which I view coming back soon, sadly).
I often feel like my commute should be labeled ‘planes, trains and automobiles.’ My commute often encompasses driving, then a train, then a shuttle then walking. I sleep, listen to music, take my Bible flip cards to memorize, read.... anything to keep me placated.”
The Answer: “Pray, listen to tapes and radio preachers—David Jeremiah and Irwin Lutzer are great biblical teachers—gospel CDs, and to be honest, sometimes classic rock, easy listening, and country Western radio stations. Some of my best prayer meetings have been in the car, which is probably why I walked out of two car wrecks that should have killed me with hardly a scratch.”
The Answer: “By driving as fast as possible! My morning commute is actually my evening commute since I work nights, going in at 6:30 p.m. And most folks are eating supper at that time.”
The Answer: “It's easy—at 3:30 in the morning, I'm usually the only car out there! (Also, I live only 10 minutes from work so you can't really call it a commute.)”
The Answer: “No morning commute for me. I work from home as a medical transcriptionist so I just get out of bed, start the coffee brewing, and turn on the computer.”
The Answer: “Listening to sports talk radio.”
The Answer: “Bob and Tom.”
The Answer: “The morning commute is fine. The evening commute is what kills me. Especially days like today: stinking hot outside, gas tank already below E. no air conditioning and I accidentally missed my exit. What normally takes 15-20 minutes, definitely took an hour.”
The Answer: “One eye at a time.”
The Answer: “Besides in prayer for those I work with, I pray for safe travel during the commute.”
The Answer: “That's my quiet time with God. The afternoon commute isn't too quiet, so I use my iPod for educational podcasts.”
The Answer: “Prime time prophets.”
The Answer: “What morning commute? I work nights, and plus, I live in a very small town, so there really isn’t a big rush at certain times of the day. If I lived in a big city, music would prolly be my fix.”
The Answer: “Audio books or NPR.”
