I’m a Supercommuter. Here’s What It’s Really Like.
I’m a Supercommuter. Here’s What It’s Really Like.
The money, miles and stamina it takes to work in one city and live in another.
In a surprise to absolutely nobody - it sucks.
I thought that said "I'm a supercomputer." I was disappointed.
stop all the super downloadin'
help supercomputer
I imagine it would probably suck at least as much being a supercomputer :D
If only there was a way to live in one place and work in another. It'd be like working remotely from home. Could even call it remote work. But naah, that doesn't make any sense. Let's polute the environment and spend outrageous amount of resources to fly across the country for no reason instead
But.. but... our industwy??

I thought my commute was awful... this guy FLYs to work?... in a different state? what the hell, and stays in hotels?
I don't consider remote work always an option, but in his case, either remote, get a job in Ohio, or move to New York. That's just not reasonable, and kind of makes him seem like a douche.
Only way that should remotely be acceptable is if you are a traveling salesman, and even then, should be your home state, and maybe adjacent states that you drive around different areas over the course of a month or two.
And ruin our mental and physical health doing so don't forget!!
I would think that the money spent on hotel rooms, airfare, and restaurants outstrips the difference in rent.
I did it for a year between Portland, OR and Chicago. You can tell the real cities by not having to specify the state. ;)
I was in my mid to late 20s and really enjoyed doing it at the time, but I don't think I could do it again. 2 weeks there, 1 week home, 2 weeks, 2 weeks, 1 week, 1 week, back and forth back and forth.
Which other portland are you gonna be talking about boi
I should have been prepared for the paywall
