There's really no excuse for that IMHO.

I live 3 blocks from work and I'm ALWAYS at least 5 minutes early. I shoot for 30 minutes and take a longer lunch.

I live about 6 blocks from office (12-15 minutes walking) and am on time 80% of the time. Sometimes 5-10 minutes late depending on the line at our cafetarias to get breakfast.

 

[DainBramaged]

Fifteen minutes away.

 

[radioouman]

I live 60 miles from work, and it takes an hour and 15 minutes.

 

[ViviTheMage]

[giantpinkbunnyhead]

omgz you're so cool

 

[Canun]

1 mile from work.

 

[bo0]

20 minutes

I live 3 freeway exits away.
17 minutes to get to the freeway and 3 minutes from there.
The reason why it takes so long is because of the area I live in.
I live about a mile from a high school, a middle school, 2 grade school and lots of stop
sign. Theres always traffic because of parents dropping off their kids.

 

[archiloco]

i am sure i have replied to this before but, 7 miles 15 min or so sometimes 12 min sometimes 25 depending on traffic, each way.

 

[theknight571]

About 25 miles, including a stop at the school to drop off my son.

Depart house 7:50, arrive school 8:00, arrive work 8:40ish depending on traffic.

i assume you are an investment banker as well? if yes, that's still good for IB. I used to work 8am - 3am during my first 2 years.

 

[Ktulu]

12 minute walk to work for the time being.

 

[Chaotic42]

Less than 2 minutes. Sometimes less than 1 minute, depending on traffic.

 

[Baked]

6 miles away. Takes 30 minutes from warming up my car, driving, finding parking, walking to the office.

Nope. You must be a really good worker because most bosses would of fired you by now.

 

[Jawo]

Driving? Why not walk?

 

[ebaycj]

40ish miles.

15 minutes driving to the train station
+ 45 minutes on the train (yes this is an express train)
+ 15 minutes walking to work
====================================
1 hour, 15 minutes commuting (one way).
* 2
====================================
Total of 2 hours, 30 minutes commuting (each day).

At least most of it's on the train so I can (somewhat) chill out, instead of having to pay attention to the road, etc....

 

[Sensai]

40 miles
1 hr 15 min - 1 hr - 45 min driving...

if i had a bike, i could pedal half of my commute and be faster than all the traffic on the interstate.

 

[misle]

3 miles. Takes about 10 minutes in traffic. I'm always about 10 minutes early.

 

[DCFife]

I live 28 miles from work - takes about 30 minutes.

I don't have any set schedule, but I get to work at least 1 hour before anybody else - primarily to beat traffic in/out (you've got to love NoVA!).

 

[Allanv]

50 miles

start in work 07:30 finish 15:30

leave home @ 06:20 get to work @ 07:15
