Working from home in Texas. Main office is in Seattle.

I'm also working out of your home. Hope I'm not getting in your way!

Seriously, I've been working from home for the past three months. Loving it. If I want to take a break at any given time (other than when I'm expecting an important call), I can do it. Also worked on the main floor and lived upstairs in a previous job for almost eight years. Was grateful for that set up too.

The dog seems to appreciate having me around as well.

Hated it. Made for 14-15hr days. 12hr shift + 1.5-2hr drive each way not because of distance but traffic.

Now 15-20min tops. Life is much better. Best of luck getting the change u want!

I lived on the ships where I worked.

I live 8 miles from my office.

14 miles. 35 minutes on a bad day when I have to use the back roads as opposed to the freeway.

15 minutes on the back roads or 11 on the highway.

From Danbury CT to midtown Manhattan. Most of it is on the train so it isn't too bad. Does make for a long day, but I get a lot of work done, especially if I can get a seat in the quiet car. I work from home one or two days per week, and that's a blessing. I used to commute all week. Don't know that I could handle that any more.

I get a lot of reading done.

I usually work going inbound, then read for pleasure on the trip home. Mobile hotspot keeps me online so I can catch up on DU posts!

I'm in Times Square, so I just take the shuttle over from GCT, or walk it on nice days.

I always have a book or two in my bag. I'm reading some of the classics that I should have read by now.

It took me about an hour, or so, to get to work. Lived in Edgewood, MD, job was in Jessup, MD. I-95 to get there. Did that for 15 years. Used my 5 years of Naval service towards my state pension. It was the bennies I really wanted for when I retired. 😀👍

But after I move soon, it will be 11 minutes. Before I moved to Kansas, my commute was 5 minutes and I could even walk to work in nice weather.

It's a mile from home.

I put up with extra BS because the short commute is worth it.

it took about an hour each way. When it rained (in Southern California) freeway lanes would flood and it would take me 2 hours to get to/from work.


My husband is semi-retired and has his office in our home. His commute is less than a minute to walk into his office.

I thought my commute was bad. It takes me about an hour and 15 minutes. By the time I get home I have had it with the world. Grab a bite to eat and then I take my animials (well they follow me) to my room and we watch TV, hug and kiss

I know I'm boring

I used to work two blocks away from my apartment. I got an additional part time job that was a mile away so I just walked when the weather was okay. It was a nice way to get some exercise.

my days are long with the driving and it seems to leave me with little time or interest in exercise. What I do,( I'm not sure if it helps) but when I park my car in the garage I go up a few levels take the stairs and then walk to work. It probably take me a total of 10 minutes one way. I guess it is better than nothing.

I suppose I could give up my wine at night.... nah that is not an option

That's what I do

Welcome to DU!!

I stay at a hotel 2 miles from work most days which is about 12 minutes round trip.
Sometimes I work from home which 30 feet not counting the odd trip to the kitchen for coffee.
There is a weekly round trip of about 9 hours to get there.

So, on average, for a 5 day work week, that's around 118 minutes per working day.

I liked it better working in California. One week there and two weeks from home. Wash rinse repeat.

The days I telework downstairs to the dining room table

The day I go to office 18 miles round trip

Best: Darwin, Australia - I lived within 300 meters of where I worked. A very leisurely 10 minute walk.

Worst: Amsterdam, Netherlands - the distance was only about 110 kms (68 miles), but I'd be stuck in Rotterdam traffic, then Utrecht traffic, then in Amsterdam traffic. At least 2 hours, often closer to two and a half. Both ways.

I work from an office I set up in my basement.

then depending on traffic - and how many security folks are at the gate to check ID, 5-10 minutes to get to work.

Some times it takes longer to get in and park than it did to get to the base

This latest job (been here 7 years) has been my shortest commute ever...

it's so hard to give up all that time in my car. I hate it.

and yes I'm in Los Angeles. I used to live so close to work but had to move far away to afford buying a place.

I have no life anymore.

Mostly country roads.
I'm spoiled rotten.
Used to drive almost an hour each way and will NOT do that again.

Going home is a little faster, maybe 15 if I wait for the parking lot to clear out

Today was closer to six. I left the house at about 6:30 and arrived at my first appointment in Madrid at noon. I then had another 3 hours this afternoon to get to my final appointment here in Barcelona, where I'm spending the night. Yesterday, I had the four hour (door to door) commute each way from my house to Brussels and back. It just differs with the distance from my house to wherever my work is on any given day.

It is a huge difference and has made me feel so much better.

It usually takes about 20-25 minutes.

Right Now it's Driving: 6 minutes to work, 10 minutes home. Walking: 30 minutes either way. Bus: Going to work not possible, buses aren't running then. Going home an hour and a half. I drive.

Wolf

I live three blocks from the shop and walk to work every day.

I walk from one side of the house to the other. God I love working from home--25 years worth.

Please don't throw tomatoes.

but when we move it will be just over 31 miles. I don't mind though because I like to drive. Traffic doesn't bother me. If I have the time I'll take the scenic route just because.

I use the time to listen to audiobooks.

I actually enjoy it. 🙂

I left downtown Barcelona at about 5:45 PM for the airport, was there, checked in and through security by 6:40. The flight was scheduled to leave at 7:30 PM and it is a 100 minute flight back here to Düsseldorf. The flight was two hours late leaving, due to an ATC strike in France, and took half an hour longer than usual due to the convoluted route the pilot had to fly over restricted air space. I got home around midnight. So 6¼ hours to get home tonight.

I'm taking tomorrow off. I've had enough of this for one week (RHIP).

on the bus. Which is quiet in the morning & fairly quiet on the ride home. I get a lot of reading on my Kindle done or I listen to NPR some mornings.

Thankfully, most of it is on interstate/limited access highway so it doesn't take very long. People drive like idiots so there are frequent white knuckle episodes!

always going somewhere different...I cherish my transit time as I get paid to drive and I get to listen to lots of great stuff...used to be books on disc but lately WCPT from Chicago or Podcasts. Tomorrow I will have fours hours of wheel time.

I'm lucky-- I'm against traffic

And I drive through rolling green hills

I used to take the bus-- about 3.5 hours/day (different job, thank God)

About 30 minutes by bike or bus.

Peace

which is about 50 miles, mostly country driving until I hit town for the last 10 miles.

When I'm biking, it's right around 22 minutes. My goal is to break 20 minutes consistently.

Weather has been crappy for months, and I am allergic to falling. Been riding the bus since late November/early December.

a cycling race between Hibbing and Kennah.
