Long commutes

[Cypress]

That is a good point.

I have had both types of commutes, and the one on the scenic rural road is pretty painless, and even pleasant.

I can relate to that. In my situation a voyage around the Cape Horn compared to cruising around the Caribbean.

Isn't that like saying a truck driver on his route is commuting?

Ahhhhhh, ummmmmmm, hmmmmmmmmm. I have to think about that one!

It takes me 34 minutes to get to work. I think that's a long time.

My girlfriend takes a train and it's two hours each way. Mine is 55 minutes each way. Quit yer whining. Be happy you have a job to go to.

I drive 6 miles OW...takes about 6-7 minutes most days. My nephew drives 50 miles OW. Takes him about an hour.

Braggart!

Most of my "commutes" range from weeks to months. You bunch of pussies!

I hear that. Isn't it nice, in a way? My commute was 40 minutes each way; longer when traffic was sucky. Working from home was a dream that they didn't implement till after I retired. Of course. lol

Are you able to keep yourself focused, or do you sometimes find yourself getting distracted by things you need to get done around the house?

so far the project that i'm on hasn't required alot of my focus, but that's changing. to be honest, I was getting bored sitting on my xbox waiting for an email to come in for something to be done.

 

[SmarterthanYou]

My old commute was 1:30 to 1:45.

some of the worst. ugh. feel for you.

I feel your pain. Well, not really. lol I did PT at-home typesetting for several years when my kids were very young, at the same time I was running an in-home daycare. It took a lot of self-discipline to stay focused and get the work done. I loved it though... nice not to have to get dressed up, drive there, drive home, spend extra $$ for gas, etc.

You have to row to work? lol

I think he's talking Navy.

I think he's talking Navy.

He is, I was just giving him grief.

I'm a bad person for this discussion, as my only real commute is rolling over, and turning my laptop on to sell online. Of course traveling to ship packages might count, I don't know. I do take care of things around the house as well.

tune into politics on am radio stations, and the time will fly.

 

[Irish Exit]

there's a lot of that in the DFW metroplex. it sucks ass

LOL. A friend of mine who is an airline pilot used to live in DFW and be based out of New Jersey. He had quite the commute, but has since moved to RDU to split the difference.

 

[PostmodernProphet]

[domer76]

About 20 minutes on foot. 5-10 by bike. 3-4 in the car, 5 if I miss the two stoplights

 

[Fentoine Lum]

Anyone else taken note that our president has a cripplingly long commute to objective reality?

Steams dear lady! One steams when underway!

No you don’t. You steam when you’re stuck in traffic.
