I honestly don't even think and my hand and foot are switching gears automatically. In stop and go traffic, I can think about work or anything and not even remember that I was switching gears the whole time. I drove an automatic for 6 years because my wife and I had just one vehicle and I never got used to it. It just felt awkward. If you're like this also, then get the MT. Highway 10 is like pulling teeth. An AT won't make it any less draining in my opinion.

Thanks to everyone for your thoughts and advice. As of right now, I do plan on keeping the 6MT. My car is an Individual build (Tanz/Amaro with a few small flourishes ) and as of this moment is at status 102, so I likely have some time to make a change if need be. That said, I think the best option is to live as close to the office as possible.
