Just picking up on McCormick93 post (thread731-125070) on his two job offers he remarked that his commute was three miles to one of his job offers.
I was just wondering what distances other member’s commute every day to work and how do you find it?

About 6 minutes! that includes checking the mailbox, buying a paper, and walking to work ..A considerable decrease from the 100 K commute each way to work I used to make.....
 
About one minute. Thirty feet from the back door of my residence to the front door of my office (here in the boon-docks) Sometimes stop to look at the deer. No office phone in my house. No home phone in my office.

 
Each project I take on first entails driving to the airport and getting on a plane. I would estimate last years total "commute" distance as 80,000 to 100,000 miles, anybody beat this????
 
Work at home, commute about 25 steps takes less than a minute.

better than 80,000 miles any day.

When on a project site always look for accommodations near work. Longest project commute was about 5 miles on an almost always empty highway to live in a resort by a lake where I could go diving 100 ft from my apartment. (Would put the gar on at home and walk to the dock and jump in.)
