Commuting = 2 Weeks of Vacation (Or Anything Else).
Just did some basic math and figured out that in the past year the time I've spent commuting to my job is equal to 9.75 days. Almost ten full days, which in the 5-day workweek world is equal to a two week vacation.
234 days in the office with an hour round-trip commute divided by 24 hours to get the number of days I've spent sitting in my car. No wonder I'm sick of NPR.

Ha! I have you beat at roughly 16 days per year. Take that!
Oh what... That's a bad thing.

A survey by the U.S. Census Bureau said Americans spend more than 100 hours a year commuting to work. That's more than the average two weeks of vacation. So, you're just about right my man. I literally feel my body wasting away everytime I step into my car for a commute.
