    I work for our state conservation agency in the Research Division. I lead an urban wildlife camera project, but I also get to assist with a ton of different projects around the state in Fisheries and Wildlife Management. I'll attach a photo of a 150 lbs, 90 inch alligator gar we reeled in on the Red River. We were microchipping them, taking measurements, then releasing them for an ongoing population estimate study. I'm on the far right with the thumbs up lol.

    I figure I've gained, at least 12,000 hours, by moving out of California 16 years ago. I'm sure my commute would have only gotten worse.

    Not quite that change, but I can relate to the traffic thing. My father worked 50 miles from home and rush hour traffic on top of it, he'd come home in a foul mood often.

    My 30 minutes all back roads each way was fine, it was my time to myself to blast the stereo and such. Though after the working from home full time for 18 months, I have zero desire to return and have communicated such to my leadership.
