HEY GUYS

I just got a job thats in Marina Del Ray and I live in Pasadena.

My office manager is real leniant and letting me switch my hours if i wanted to. I do not care if i go through traffic 1 way but both ways really kill me. Today i got home in 3 hours.

Someone please tell me what time frame is good please.

Right now my my schedule is 11am-5pm. The morning commute is alright, understandable but going home It has to be a 6 hour shift...

please someone help me i feel like i am wasting my life in my car.

 

these are lifesavers

Also download google maps if you have a smart or PDA phone it has traffic updates.

 

P.S. Move

 

+1 unless you go home at 7ish

 

get a helicopter. you'll be alright.

 

kill like 2 hrs after work then it will get better.

 

then would a 1pm-7pm be a better shift?

 

you only work 6 hours a day? LOL.

 

yes, part time.

 

yea way better. 1pm youll have lunch traffic which isnt too bad and 7pm is when traffic sort of dies out unless theres and accident or some event going on. ask your manager if you can try it out

 

^+1, or stay after your shift and do overtime like I do. Best time/shift to avoid traffic 5a-2p or 11a-8p, other than that you just have to get used to it.

 

thanks alot for you help but those are 9 hours shifts. i do 6 hour shifts so what time would be nice?

 

like you said 1pm-7pm try it out

 

10PM to 4 AM

 

k thanks alot people, appreciate it. i dont know how some people live like that. waste hours in their cars everyday

 

my company does not do late shifts.

 

I do my own schedule, so for the most part I avoid the traffic jam hours. I commute 35 miles 1 way thats 70 miles both ways 5 days a week. Sometimes it takes me 35 mins. w/o traffic and 2 hrs w/traffic. Thats LA traffic my friend

 

yeah my work is 29.5 miles away. i thought i was far but i guess theres further haha

okay so i also thought about this time frame. 9am-3pm how is that?

compared to 1pm-7pm?

 

P.S.S. Find another job closer to home. No part time job is worth a 40 mile 3 hr commute.

 

29.5 miles but yea, well this is actually my first job that i really like working for. and it looks really good with my resume and for my future. (transportation design)
