    How far do you commute?

    I drive three different places: school, my piano job, and my school job.

    My college is about 6 miles away just west of downtown but it usually takes about 20 minutes to get there.

    My piano job is in the burbs and is about 12 miles, but it takes about 25 minutes.

    My school job is the closest at only 3 miles and it takes under 10 minutes to get there.

    How far do you travel for work/ school?

    I navigate from my bed to my kitchen to grab a cup of coffee on my way downstairs to my office, takes me about 2 minutes of travel time, although can detour up to a full 15 minutes if i forget to set the coffee pot to autobrew.

    Thanks Jess for the great sig of my kids!

    1.3 miles to my job. It's great because I can run home for lunch to take care of my furkids if need be. If one is sick or like now, with a puppy that can't go all day without going potty.

    That's nice...Eric and I worked from home last year and it was nice, but sometimes you need to get out of the house. The only bad thing about Eric's job was he took phone calls (he did tech support) and it got boring to listen to him, plus I had to keep the dogs quiet. I heard him so much I think I could have done his job.

    That's a good distance- close but not too close. A few years ago we lived in a town in northern Iowa and Eric worked at a place right across the street from our house. He would literally get up 15 minutes before he had to be at work.

    HA! This is a interesting one for me... Sometimes it is a 25 to 30 minute commute but other times it has taken up to 12 hours.. We have to go where the boat is on crew change day rather it be in Baton Rouge or St. Louis or anywhere between....

    25 kilometres which is about 15 miles. It's almost all highway driving though so only takes about 20 minutes. It used to take me longer to commute about 2 miles when I lived in Calgary!

    30 miles to the office from my house and anywhere from 30 minutes to 3 hours determined by traffic. Round trip, 60 miles and 1-6 hours of sitting.

    It takes me about 20 minutes to get to work, and 30 minutes to get to the college.

    It takes me about 15 min. and I never run into traffic. I am actually going the opposite way from most of the traffic which is nice.

    This has nothing to do with my commute, but I received this in an e-mail this evening from my brother. He thought it was cute and I have a feeling you are going to like it too.

    To drive would take about 5-10mins depending on traffic, but I don't drive and have to take the bus which takes about 15-20mins. I walk during nice weather and it takes me about 45mins.
