Well I know exactly how to get there because I drive that way *EVERY* day. You better believe I got lost several times when I first started making that commute and I totally get ******* lost if the exits I normally take are closed or a freeway I normally take is closed.
Once I missed the 9th street exit and the 6th street exit was closed (only a mile from work) and it took me 40 minutes to get to work from the next exit I got off of (no joke). I really need to get a GPS unit but I am not sure of a good place to mount one where I can still see all my gauges.
Don't even get me started about when I lived in Japan. OMFG the addressing system in Japan is so freaking retarded its not even funny. And I thought I got lost in the U.S. it isn't even funny how lost I got in Japan. Luckily I didn't drive since I lived in Shibuya-ku near Tokyo (even though I had my international drivers permit) so it wasn't as bad as missing streets and stuff when driving but yeah... I got so lost there.

I work nights (10 PM to 8 AM) 4 days a week so its not that bad. I live right off the 60 free way (its on the border of pomona, ontario, chino) and thus its only about 40 miles one way. Since I work during non-peak hours it takes me about 35 minutes to drive in and about 40-45 minutes (depending on traffic) to get back.
EDIT: ProfessorDave I see that you are in Stranton, PA. Ontario, California -> Los Angeles is usually considered a pretty bad commute if you gotta do it during normal peoples shift but I realized you might have thought Ontario, CA was Ontario, Canada which of course would be ridiculous but being in PA you might not realize there is a city called Ontario decently close to L.A.
