How long does it take you to get home from work thread! - Page 2

1.5 blocks= 4-5 minutes

billfuddled · 03-23-2005, 10:17 PM

22 miles one-way, usually 45-55 minutes, 90 on a not-so-good day.

19 miles door to door. On the rare occasion I go in on a Saturday its about 30 minutes. Rush hour, at least an hour. And if someones decided to spread the remains of their car across the freeway, well all bets are off. One time we sat still for 30 mins as they brought in a helicopter to medi-vac the occupants. Then there was the hurricane that took out a section of 95 last year.

From my desk to the Fridge for a Cold one. Good in that respect but the pay sucks! (Unemployed)

Im retired but work at my old job when they are short It takes less than ten minutes if there is a bit of traffic and I get a red light.

Im surprised how many of you are close to your work like me.

I do 3-4 miles uphill in about 20 minutes on my racer on a good day. If I am really knackered maybe 25-30 minutes.

**SubZero** · 03-24-2005, 10:25 AM

15 minutes by car, 13 minutes with a bike....

Same distance for me, Keri!

Used to be 90 minutes to go 21 miles and up to 40 minutes to go six miles, if I left at the wrong time.

...so often my total commute is a few seconds!

I never could figure out why if the job was that important, he didn't move to the area. He lived in North Florida.

how is that even possible? :confuse2:

lets say he works a regular 9-5 shift...if he leaves work at 5:00 P.M then he would be getting home at 12:00 midnight...that means he would have to leave the house again at 2:00 A.M in order to get to work at 9:00 A.M...either he's a vampire or is suffering from major sleep deprivation

close, 7 hours round trip so he would have to leave home at 530am and would return about 830pm

ahhhh...round trip...

"shakes cobwebs from head"

I remember reading about a guy who lives 6 hours (ONE WAY) from work. It was an train article on Amtrak's "Noreaster" IIRC and the article sort of hinted that without further proof he has the longest commute in America. He lived in Maine and worked in Virginia or something.

It said he slept on the train a lot.

What's the point of living that far away from work? Move, idiot!

TroNiXx · 03-24-2005, 07:12 PM

typically 15-20 minutes

dddibley · 03-25-2005, 02:05 AM
