Before that, I worked up in Boston and my commute was 90 minutes a day - each way - in a car. I liked that as well. I listened to a lot of talk radio, music, podcasts and books on tape while I commuted.
I despise it. I hate traffic--even when I have nowhere special to be or timeframe to be there in. I don't know what it is, but I just hate driving in traffic.
It could be that I learned to drive in the country, where I grew up. Back country roads, no traffic at all, and no one getting in my way or causing me unnecessary frustration.
