Work Commutes

[Cookiebaker]

I don't know how many miles it is, but it only takes me 14 minutes to get to work. There are 4 different routes that I can take, so if I get stuck behind a slowpoke, I just change my route. Or if they turn off, then I keep going. I don't have a bad commute at all!

For the past several months, I have been driving about 90 miles each way (1 hour 45 minutes). I'm pretty much used to it now, but on really bad days I have to be there at 5:30 or 6:00 in the morning and stay past 4:00 pm. I do love my job, and it is only when I have jobsites out of town that I have to drive like that (it's just happened to be that this has been the case since last October or November--3 or 4 different jobs). I don't drive to an office everyday, nor is there ever any amount of traffic to speak of, thank goodness, and they have been letting me use a company vehicle, so that wear and tear is not on mine.

No but my mom hates her 1 hour drive/ train/walking trip so she's looking for a new job. My barn will be 45 minutes when I switch there. Two families have an hour and they own horses! That means after school she has to drive 2 children up to each ride their horses and then an hour back, and they have to do this several times per week. Another father has to drive his daughter just as far for them to both ride. My parents think they have lost their minds.

It takes me about 30 seconds to get to work, but man, I sure hate the traffic on the stairs when the dogs try to beat me to my office!

Hehe kidding, sorry you guys have such long treks, sounds crappy.

I guess I have it easier... no stairs for me . But I have a couple good trippers myself..I've been known to stumble over excited squirming dog bodies as I try to get to the workplace .

My Mother-in-law drives close to 2 hours one way to the Twin Cities every day, and has for almost 30 years
