But yes, commuting is really what wrecks it for me. I hate spending 10 hours a week in my car. But I couldn't afford acreage close to anywhere with a decent paying job... sooooo, tradeoffs I guess? I know what you mean about something having to give, I've been in variations of that for the last 2 years ugh. Can't seem to find the right balance!

I've been on 4-10s for ages, but with the new added commute it's not the most ideal. Also not ideal? The horses being where I work and not where I live right now. Mon-Thur I leave the house around 515am and don't get back home until 730pm if I'm really rushing the horse stuff. It's sucked royally. Something WILL give soon and this situation will change.

I would do the go in early, leave early in the summer to ride at night and go in late, leave late in the winter to ride in the morning (bc we have no electricity we can only ride when there's sun). The only problem with it is that I HATE getting up early.

Mine are marginally flexible within very specific parameters haha. But that's actually better than most state jobs, so I shouldn't complain!

I can occasionally work from home and since I support WA but live in MN I can flex my hours later no problem. Earlier would be tough but I'm a night owl so wouldn't want to do that anyway. I typically just go out to ride later in the day and since I have an indoor its not unusual for me ride around 9-10 in the summer. I hope your new schedule works great for you!Piccoloponyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08275679567725425281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-599298708593134981.post-20532717670120815732017-05-17T07:08:01.024-07:002017-05-17T07:08:01.024-07:00I think I am just going to curl up and cry about t...I think I am just going to curl up and cry about the heat and humidity this summer.
