Yea, I've got a 3 year old who gets plenty of daddy time at night and on the weekends. Can't say I _like_ the commute, but it's not as horrible as all these dramatic replies make it sound. I'd definitely move closer to work in a heartbeat if the South Bay or peninsula was affordable.

I do sincerely hope that you're one of the few who can happily give up half of 5/7ths of his leisure time for his family. I've never personally known anyone -family man or no- who can endure such a lengthy daily commute for more than a few years.

Something just wears away at you until -one day- you realize that you're deeply dissatisfied about something... and eventually come to realize that it's your long-ass commute.

Totally off-topic, but what did you use to make the charts for your productivity-per-hour, and how did you track productivity? I use a time-tracking app (Toggl), but it's not easy to determine the difference between an hour when I'm on fire and an hour where mt brain feels like fuzz.

I use RescueTime. It's awesome!
