Question:
I am looking at an area with my girlfriend that is a great town to live in. The problem is its 70 minutes away from my job. I work usually 3-4 days a week and typicallty off peak hours (2p-10p) for example... Is this a bad idea? I am only doing it because my girlfriend works on the other side of the state from me.
