Starred Ashton Fartser, IIRC?

All interstate too, so I can imagine it wasn’t too bad.

Same. There are a few employees that live down the street from me, so I would hope they push to do it soon.

Yeah, the addition of the Wiscasset bridge 2x daily in this commute is going to be problematic.

Ah yes, the well-known Butterfly Fart Effect. I think there's a movie about that.

That's a loooong commute.

Edit: And just wait until the tourists hit route one. That's going to add a significant amount of time to that hour and ten.

Yup lol. I was a 7 min ride to work and then moved up north to keep my job and now I'm 15-20 depending on weather. It's my max lol

How long is a piece of string?

“Krogers”? Welcome fellow Midwesterner! ☺️

I couldn't do more than 30.

It’s like being at work for over an extra week per month if you think about it. Would have to be a hell of a raise.

Look at Nova Scotia or New Brunswick, there’s a ferry that goes from Bar Harbor to Nova Scotia.

Washington County would probably disagree with being associated with anything to do with Bar Harbor, lol

I drive 40 minutes from Waldoboro to Boothbay Harbor and back.

Depends on how much you love your job.

Camping

30 minutes at the most... Even that gives a lot of people road rage and feeling the need to speed to get it over faster...

😂 mhmm

Hard pass for me!

I commuted Portland to Augusta for 2 years, it was a bit rough since I worked late fairly often at the time, but totally doable, and with an efficient vehicle (my car gets 33-35 mpg) really not a big deal

My wife used to commute over an hour each way (without traffic) for many years. Bad weather, accidents, a butterfly farts in Japan...and that one way trip can nearly double in duration. The stress ended up affecting her health in the long run, and between that and the affect on family life, she dropped out her career job 100% for more soul satisfying work within a local commute.

15 minutes

1 hour one way was too much for me. Makes the thought of driving anywhere on the weekend to do something fun appalling

In the short term you can do anything for a few months. I used to fly between Portland and Anchorage every 3 weeks for 6 months. I always knew it was temporary though.

But if I were you and you really wanted this job, I’d look into relocating. Spending your days commuting is hell

I drove over three hours a day for three years. Would not recommend. It’s exhausting.

Having done something similar, the only way to make it worth it would be to line up a set of audio books or podcasts or something of the sort. But even still, long commutes get old.
