As another DC person, the “leaving the office” one is huge. I used to live/work in Alexandria with about a 7 minute walk. I now live/work in Arlington/Sterling and although traffic on 66 is the bane of my existence, when I leave work I might as well be going to another planet. The disconnect is amazing.
Try an hour and 15 minute drive in and out of Washington, DC every day and see if you’re still enjoying it. I can’t take that time to myself because I’m constantly having to playing defense against the other 300,000 cars on the Beltway/395.

As I’m typing this… I’m stuck on 66 heading into DC. I do this 5 out of 7 days a week… Kill me.

Nothing like a whole shit ton of carbs after sitting at a desk all day.
Unfortunately not.
