I worked on a session in the nearest big metro to my small Texas town of 200,000 - daily commute of 2 hours and 25 minutes to get there in the morning, then 2 hours 25 minutes home (closer to 4 hours to get home on traffic heavy days). Not really unheard of.
Then, a few months ago - took a vacation on the beach island of South Padre, Texas then had to rush to a client in north Texas that next day. 12 hours of driving, all without leaving the state.
UK drivers know nothing of the true road trip life.
I'd say the 2 1/2 hour commute is pretty unheard of. I've never heard of it before. That sounds like hell. My boss's is 90 mins and he's always complaining.
Boss should find a good podcast and learn to meditate. Driving is my zen, especially on long highway stretches. I guess it also depends largely on if there's a love of driving and what vehicle you're in.
Thankfully it was just for 1 artist and we were done in about 3 weeks.
As a temporary thing it's not that bad but it's also an extra 5 hours on your day. I've done 3.5 hrs for a client meeting but at that point that hour long meeting is all I'm getting done that day
