How long does it take you to get to work?

Although I frequently travel for meetings, my office is in my house. Sure feels good in the dead of winter, when I see all the roads backed up.

Time to the office? Less than what that last sentence took me to type!
 
hmm to work its everywher from 5 mins to over 2 hours depending where you are, to school its about 27 minutes in a car, i can do it on 12 in my bike because traffic gets backed right up and i can blow past em on the side
 
Takes me about 15 minutes to drive to work in the morning. I live north of town, and have to drive through town on the interstate to get to campus. Not so sure about the other direction, as I pick up the kiddo from day care and then we take our time getting home -- Foe
 
About 5 minutes or so. A little more if I get stuck behind some doofus wanting to turn left against traffic. Most of the time it's some neurotic-arse woman late for taking her little precious to skule.And how many times have I seen 'em sit thru a couple of green lights yakking away on the ol' cell phone?!? LADY, PUT THE FECKIN' PHONE UP & DRIVE !! <grin>-Sandy G.

Me too! About 5 seconds from bedroom to office :banana:
 
On an average day 20 minutes in the AM and 35 mintues in the PM. However, if it rains, people stop thinking about getting to work and concentrate on crashing into each other. It's a good thing it rarely snows here.....
 
I'm with Reel. Just out to the truck, then anywhere from 10 minutes (rare) to 3 hours, average 45 minutes, mostly freeway though. However, since November I have been remodeling the neighbors house which is across a shared driveway, so I guess you can say I live at my work. though sadly, I will be done for the most part this week and once again it's off to the races each morning. :sigh:
 
Used to be 30 minutes average, but since I retired it is 10 seconds to the basement shop and whoever's receiver is on the bench.

Use to commute to D.C. 49 mi. one way, Now it's 4.5 miles and takes about 10-15 minutes, no expressways. I'm enjoying the extra time it's like semi retirement.
 
About 3 steps on a good day. Bad days ? well we wont talk about them :naughty:

It can be as high as 5 steps in traffic..
 
Sometimes 5 steps sometimes more, depends if one of the cats wants attention (traffic jam).
 
It takes me about 15 to 20 minutes to go 8 miles. It takes almost half of that time to go the mile or so from my house to the freeway on ramp. Here in the LA area, the on ramps are metered to only let one car go at a time. Some days it really backs up.

My commute is much shorter than average. Most of the people I work with take an hour or more. As housing prices increase, people are driving further to find affordable housing. A couple of the guys go more than 90 miles each way!!!!

AM when I hit the pool everyday 15 minutes,the way back can be a horror story.I-35 is one of Austin,Texas's best kept nightmares,20 miles can take 90 minutes.Its a moving freak show on cellular phones.
 
About half an hour to get in if the weather is clear, maybe 35 to get home, as long as there is not the slightest distraction or disturbance. Apart from a mile or so at the beginning and end, my commute is basically travelling 90% of the length of I-696. If there is nothing impeding or distracting traffic, I whiz along at 80 and STILL get my bumper chewed off by some cat who wants to go 95. If three molecules of H20 should condense together and settle on the road, or some crusty old fart decides he is going to go 10 under in the fast lane and damn well teach us all a lesson, or someone pulls over to change a tire, or the cops decide that the busiest junction along the freeway (say Telegraph or I-75) is a jolly fine place to hand out a speeding ticket, the whole freeway freezes solid like somebody spread glue across it. At those times I feel jumpin out of my car and running around randomly and shrieking.

I experienced this phenomenon last weekend when attending AKfest. I was driving along 696 at what I figured was a high rate of speed and was surprised at how 'intense' the driving was - it was very busy, I was doing 80 and I was the slowest car on the road.

Kind of went from the uncomfortable to the insane Saturday night when I was doing 85 (barely keeping up) and a guy on a motorcycle went by me like I was sitting still - he must have been doing well over 100, and he had the thing on the back wheel the whole time I saw him!
 
I am lucky I am a sperintendent so no travel time..... Has it's advantages no travel time, no bus tickets/gass but I get knocks at my door at weird times.
