How far is your job from your house

This week I have been working up at the corporate offices which at first I thought I would like but it is 188 mile round trip. I swear when I start the trip back home my eyes get heavy...lol. I leave around 6:00am and get there around 8:00am and get home around 5 or so. I don't know how some of the guys who work a hundred or so miles do it each day. Moe must be a old puss...lol :monkies:
 
Very short drive.. Like just a few feet.. Cant bring the car in the house, so I cant drive to work. Very short walk. The garage is farther then my office..

Saves on fuel.

Rarely late for work.

Only traffic is Junior when he is stretching in the morning...

LOL, I was about to answer the same thing Bill, but I would be lting. I am retired and my job goes all day and all over, anyone else retired with family to look after knows where I am coming from. I get at the computer in the morning and stop by for short frequent missives, but I pretty much stay on the run.

The last 11 years the trip to work takes me about 15 minutes. For 9 years before that ~ 35 minutes. I've done that hour and a half one way drive to work thing. Never want to do it again! Best was when I worked in Athens, TX. My apartment was 3 miles from work.
 
As the crow flies, I'm not that far from work, about 7 miles, however, as one has to drive in intercity traffic both ways, it boils down to about 10-11 miles one way. It takes me anywhere from 25 to 40 minutes to get from point A to point B.
 
2,000 miles away...

Glad there is a computer.....

I can work in my bedroom....

I work and play at the same time, and chat with friends,

I slack all day.... (Joke) :jump:
 
Takes me about 15-20 minutes from my door to the front door of work.
Last year before moving it was 7 minutes.
 
Until last year I had a job that took me all across our vast country (Netherlands), average 2.5 hours/day by car. Got so sick of that that I quit and took a job 10 minutes by bicycle away! Much healthier and happier now for sure!:wiggle:
 
A little over 13 miles one way. Takes about 20 minutes average commute, sometimes longer if the Interstate has a lot of traffic.

I go 26.5 miles through Pittsburgh. There's no real way around it. On a good day, it's 45 min. each way. On a bad day, well, the worst I've had is 2 hours...

But some days I can work from home, so that helps. It's tough losing 1.5 hrs each day when I have land to tend, an extensive "honey-do" list, and a sim or two to fly! Maybe that's why I'm still at the "Human Drone" level of ability! :sheep:
 
I live in Amarillo, Texas and work in a small town 60 mile to the norheast so my commute is 120 miles a day. Thank goodness I car pool. Before moving here I lived in Houston and commuted 60 miles everyday and that commute took as longe as what I do now..
 
I'm in the same boat as Caz. Work for me is the Honey Do List. GTO and playin on the computer is the fun work. ;) :d

To tell the truth tho, I'd rather be working.......... Retirement sucks!
 
I'm retired, but the last 10 years of my career involved a 90 minute drive, one way. It was especially tough when getting off at 6:00AM after a mid-watch.

To my home, it's a 190 mile round trip.
On top of working a 12 hour shift I got real tired of losing 2.5-3hrs every day driving (or falling asleep at the wheel). I have been renting an apartment 5 miles from work for several years now and am saving a fair amount on gas by paying rent/utilities instead, but I still want to find something to purchase soon. Rent money is a no-return investment but at least I once again have a bit more time to get other things done besides eat/sleep/work/drive/repeat.
 
when i did work,,i drove from my apartment to my dads house,maybe 1/4 of a mile at most,BUT then we got in the work truck and some days we would drive 200+ miles to do a new home( i hated that,i allways felt tired when we got to work)then drove back home..we worked as far south at yosemite park boundry,,reno,,,redding ,,and SF
