I got an hour and 10 minute commute and some days it's just a killer. Like today....

    It's not too bad... but it seriously ranges from 15 minutes (usually getting TO work, naturally) to 45 minutes... it's about 12 miles I think... but all city driving so a ton of stop lights.... and stupid *kitten* drivers.

    I have one hour and 20 minutes - leave the house at 7:20 drive to the train station, jump on a train, get off in the city and walk a mile to the office, get in around 8:40. Jeez know wonder I'm tired.

    It's about 4 miles or 7 mins one way. Exhausting.

    within walking distance, which is nice I'd hate to have to drive to work every morning. I can get out of bed 40 minutes before work starts and get there on time, showered, dressed and stress free.

    All the way across town, about 7.8 miles (just maped it on Google). Takes me about 12 minutes. 2 stop lights.

    I moved here 4 years ago sometimes need to remind myself that this makes up for not having all the shops, dining options...

    About 40 mins if there is no traffic. Can take longer than an hour when there's traffic. Which of course, there always is.

    10 miles, 2 gravel, 1 blacktop, the rest highway, practically no taffic. I am pretty lucky because we live at least 30 miles in all directions from any major towns so most have to commute. Have to go to town to do my grocery shopping once a week, nothing more than a convenience store in the small town I work in.

    30-35 minutes if I am running late and everyone moves! On days when the universe aligns and I am on time, 40 minutes.

    From door to door it takes me 2 hours of which 70 mins is walking :noway:

    45 min walk to local station, 50 min sit on train and 25 min walk through central London. Then I have to do the same on the way back.

    Blimey just realised 4 hours of commuting a day! I must be mad lol

    I do sometimes drive to the station or get the bus or tube but the money really adds up and my yearly train ticket costs enough!! :explode:

    under 10 mins of driving, but it kinda sucks for winter. Too far to walk in the dead of winter.

    Too freaken' long.
    40 mins AM (to)
    60 to 70 mins PM (from)

    I want to hulk smash people by the time I get home. I have to walk around the house or go outside to decompress before talking to my other half. I hate that I'm mean to him after work because traffic was stupid.

    I'm blessed on the job aspect of life.

    My commute? From my bedroom, to my living room. I'm a transcriptionist and work from home. :)

    When school is out it's like 15 minutes max. When school is back in session (now)...it takes me longer because all the freakin' side streets to get to the freeway have schools on them and it takes twice as long because everyone stops for a long time to let all the other cars pass to get into the school parking lot. So then here we have a green light and some "super nice" person makes all the other cars behind them wait a lot longer because they want to let 20 cars pass. No, I'm not bitter... :grumble:

    I live about a kilometre from work, so takes me only 5 minutes to get to work if that. If I work at my other location then it takes about a half an hour or so.
