RtS: IMAX at GardenWalk, Anaheim

[€uroMeinke]

One thing I have found in commuting by public transit (MTA not OC) is that the additional time spent commuting - and it does add significant time to mt commute - is actually productive time for me. When I drive I drive and maybe listen to NPR. When I commute I have time to read, write in my journal, catch up on email correspondence, reads web pages, or even just nap. I spend more time on the move, but I've transformed that time into something rathe positive for me. Sure the days I drive I get to work and home quicker, but it's more exhausting to me and causes me to add the commute time to my work day, so it feels like I'm working longer.

But that's personal annectdote,

Wow, I knew getting out of the Garden Walk parking structure was inconvienant, but I didn't know it was this bad!

So I guess what one has to do is turn "commute" into some other productivity. My biking commute is very short - about 12 minutes - but because I have to get there and get changed, I have to leave about 30 min before work. I've made my peace with that, as there are plenty of bonuses that balance it out - fresh air, exercise, lovely neighborhood, save on gas and car maintenance, doing the good environmental thing, etc.
