Agh, people I've talked to seem so reticent to understand that even outside the commute time I'm giving up my time to my employer. I don't want to wake up at 5 to rush out the door to sit in traffic until 7:30 and do the same on the way home then still have to spend my own "free" time meal prepping and doing house chores that I can hopefully cram in before I have to go to bed and do it all again tomorrow.
All of that is no longer "my" time because I would definitely be spending it differently if it weren't for the expectations imposed on me by my employer. Try to tell people that and they look at me like I've sprouted a third eye
