Worst Commute ever

The New Yorker has an article on the increasing long commutes that people are willing to endure - apparently 1 in 6 Americans commute more than 45 minutes each way. This part just floored me though:
Last year, Midas, the muffler company, in honor of its fiftieth anniversary, gave an award for America’s longest commute to an engineer at Cisco Systems, in California, who travels three hundred and seventy-two miles—seven hours—a day, from the Sierra foothills to San Jose and back. “It’s actually exhilarating,” the man said of his morning drive. “When I get in, I’m pumped up, ready to go.”
Yikes!
