Jealous! I have an hour commute and have to get dressed in the dark sometimes so I end up looking like a fool.
My old job was about 20 minutes away, but I had to leave 50 minutes before I had to be at work in order to avoid traffic. Most of those days I got dressed in the dark and mostly still asleep, but it was a casual office so if I showed up in a Strawberry Shortcake t-shirt and the same jeans I’d been wearing all week, no one batted an eye. But when I decided I didn’t want to be in the toxic environment that office was, I purposely looked for something closer to my house. I highly recommend it, if it’s an option. Also, my poor outfit choice this morning was only poor because it was supposed to be cold today but the sun decided to be out and it was beating in through the lobby windows all morning and I was uncomfortably warm in thick sweater and knee socks under my boots. No one even noticed I changed (I had on the same colors, gray on top, black on bottom) except my friend who I asked “Is it bad if I go home and change on my lunch break?” She said no, but then made fun of me a little bit for doing it.
