When I had this situation I was expected to show up any time, like if the alarm went off or to let a contractor in, etc. I was unofficially on-call for all things office. And blamed if something odd happened after hours.

Walking to work was glorious.

It's literally cheating death, only spread out over a long period of time.

And by not driving, you cheat death a little bit more on behalf of other people. Less air pollution is good for literally everyone.

Yea, after dealing with the accidents and traffic seemingly every day on 101, having a short walk to work is just incredibly glorious and results in so much less stress. A nice couple block walk on water to an office in the morning is a pretty great way to start the day.

My foot commute is 20min, but involves dropping the kids at school on the way. #Winning
