Commute update

So...
it turns out that Jono's long commutes are less bad than expected (50 min train + 25 min walking, and a lot of train time is recoverable), his short commutes are more stressful (20 minutes of crowding) and mine are longer than expected (90 min), so this coming week we're going to try spending an extra day or two down in MV.


Monday:
J: long morning commute, long afternoon commute
S: no commute
Sleep in MV

Tuesday:
J: long morning commute, short afternoon commute
S: 0 morning commute, long afternoon commute (drive up early for taiko)
Taiko, Sleep in Oakland

Wednesday:
J: short morning commute, short afternoon commute
S: "work from home" in Oakland
Drive down to MV around 9pm, sleep in MV

Thursday:
J: "work from home" in MV
S: anime lunch at old school
then family dinner, then comics club in MV. Sleep in MV.

Friday:
J: long morning commute, short afternoon commute
S: 0 morning commute, long afternoon commute
Sleep in Oakland

Saturday: Oakland all day. Drive down Saturday night, sleep in MV

Sunday:
MV. (S works, J does activities)

J's short commutes are 20 minutes on public transit, long commutes would be 75 minutes on public transit
S's long commutes are 70-90 minutes through traffic, non-traffic drives are 45-50 minutes.


Which totals to:
J: 4 short commutes + 4 long commutes (380 min, 220 min of pain)
S: 2 long commutes (180 min)
2 nights in Oakland, 5 nights in MV
