Binbrook to Cambridge for me is just under an hour. I've been leaving a little earlier just so I don't have to rush or get caught in traffic behind a school bus or something.

I don't mind long drives (1hr), but stop and go traffic would kill me.

Oh...lol.
I didn't do anything for puralator.
I picked up the package that had my termination paper in it from them.

I don't get much more time off though.
I still work 80+ hours per week.

I commute from Waterdown to Oakville every morning. The qew is out of the question so I normally take dundas. I can normally get to work on Speers in around 20 minutes and the drive back takes around 35 min or so.

I would imagine that drive from Hamilton would suck donkey *****..covered in tobasco and arsenic. Now that sucks.

I do it for coop for 4 months at a time, sucks even though it's only from mississauga, there is a trick though

if you can get to mississauga @ 7am, the rest of the trip should only take you 10-15min, if you cross 427/QEW later then 705-710 ull be stuck in nasty traffic, its amazing how much of a diff 5-10min can make in traffic conditions.

I totally agree with you about the timing aspect. Leaving for work even five to ten minutes later than normal puts you with a completely different traffic group.

I had a flexible sched, so I could show up early and leave early,

but, if you end up getting stuck in traffic, then ur probably going to spend an extra 30-40min stuck in it =p
