    Can only mods/admins make polls?

    I'm C, about 25 minutes.

    It's sad, half of that time is probably 2.5 miles out of the 12.5 I have to go. Stoplights every other block until I get on the freeway.

    Right around 30 minutes. I'm used to it now and the drive really isn't too bad.

    Yeah the functionality has been removed for regular users. icon_sad.gif

    A. I usually work from home. If I need to go to my office I could walk there in about 15 minutes. If I have to go to a clients it could be anywhere from a few minutes to a day on an airplane. :)

    5 minute drive or 40 minutes walk. Usually end up with a ride in and a walk back though since the heat has really kicked in around here I just wait around work for an hour and then get a ride back.

    I'm just about 23 miles from my work, so it's 30 minutes, give or take five to ten minutes depending on traffic and how fast I feel like driving. Used to be about ten minutes, but I switched jobs about two weeks ago.

    25 minutes if I take the toll road ($3.50) and 45 minutes if I don't. The longer route forces me to drive at slower speeds, so I may start doing it just to save on tolls and gas. There's too much temptation to drive 80MPH on the toll road. icon_twisted.gif

    D. Takes me about 50 minutes on average. Sometimes more sometimes less. But I drive 85 all the time so I guess it would be more time if I obeyed the limits.
    There is no place like 127.0.0.1 BUT 209.62.5.3 is my 127.0.0.1 away from 127.0.0.1!

    32 miles in Chicago construction. So pretty far. Thing is, I'm a consultant and my clients are every where and I am rarely in the office. Some of my clients are downtown and I live near the train and I take that downtown. 10 minutes to the train, 45 minute ride on the express train. If I drive to the office, i'll be about 1 hour to an hour and a half. I'm used to it and it doesn't bother me. I work from home a lot though.

    depends....

    With traffic about 45 minutes

    Don't get so upset...it's just ones and zeros.

    oh, I forgot about the satellite office!

    so, If I have to travel from home, to satellite office, back to main office, back home, that would be a total of 75 miles and over an hour of driving sans traffic. Avec traffic, well id say 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours.... icon_sad.gif

    had to do it today, and now tomorrow , DAMNIT!

    D] 30+ Minutes

    60km (37 miles) from work.

    5 min to railway station
    1.5h by train (reading cisco e-books)
    20min - 1h (depends on traffic jams) by trolley
    5 min from last stop to work.

    ~2h one way and up to ~2.5h in another.

    So in toto I spend 4h daily for commuting.
