I live in NOLA and recently accepted a job in Baton Rouge. Initially, I thought I could make the commute every day; however, the commute has been more challenging than I initially anticipated. It would be nice if I could ride-share with an additional person and take turns driving so that I wouldn't have to make both 90 minute commutes every single day.

If there's anyone on this board who lives in NOLA but commutes to BR on a daily basis, and wishes to share driving duties with someone else, please let me know!

Give it a month or so, you'll get used to it and your brain will basically turn off for the drive. I made that commute for almost two years.

I made that commute for a year. I highly recommend.
-Move
-Find another job
-Work 4x10 hour days if you can
-Get a book on tape
-Language learning program
-Find good podcasts
-Etc.

Doing that commute for a year wore on me. I hated everything...
Mainly because I hated the boss I worked directly for. The owner and job itself we good but my boss was one of my least favorite people I’ve ever met.

What I’m saying is, the job better be worth it.

This could also be true but he needs to realize that 3+ hours out of every day is now fuggin’ gone. Getting shite done after work and quality of life drops a good bit.
