It May Be the Longest,....
....but it has to be one of the , well, silliest commutes:
Mariposa resident Dave Givens makes a 186-mile drive -- each way -- five days a week to his job in San Jose.Surely this waste should not be rewarded:The electrical engineer has been doing that commute since 1989, spending seven hours every day getting to and from work at Cisco Systems Inc.
Givens out-drove thousands of other entrants to take home $10,000 in gas money and a range of maintenance services and products.Givens says:
"I have a great job and my family loves the ranch where we live," Givens said. "So this is the only solution."
Albeit, what appears to be a pretty wasteful and broken solution.
