So you think your commute is bad

Try 7 hours for this Cisco employee who has on average 3 hours to and up to 5 hours back for his daily routine.

The auto repair firm this week handed Givens its “America’s Longest Commute” award for his daily 372 mile trek. Givens had entered the contest on a coworker’s suggestion and never expected to win. Now, the electrical engineer is giving the massive commute a rethink.

With his family still sleeping, Givens heads out the door at around 4:30 a.m. from a horse ranch at the edge of the astonishing Yosemite National Park. On a good day, he can make the 186-mile trip to Cisco’s sprawling offices in less than three hours.

Of course, this commute is all by choice. The guy lives on a horse ranch and enjoys the scenery.

    372 miles in only 3 hours?? every weekend it takes me 2 hours to get home from college (on the weekdays i live in an apartment), and that is only 30 miles

    but in Los Angeles 30 miles takes you 2 hours in rush hour traffic, and that is from one side of L.A. to the other., when not in rush hour traffic it takes me only 45 mins.

    but i bet that ranch looks great
