Depends on traffic and the time I'm going in. When I worked Saturday mornings I gave myself 35-40 minutes and would be 15 minutes early. Never been late on a Saturday...
But on a Monday? I have to give myself a full hour and usually get there with 7-10 minutes to spare. Mondays are the only day I've ever been late.The commute is 20 miles nearly exactly
-
Two days a week it is 1 hour each way and two days it is 1.5 hours each way. I work in 10 different rural schools and I'm also commuting between schools during the work day. I stay home Fridays to do my paperwork. I don't mind my commute on the way to work even though it's so long. I love drinking my coffee and listening to music. I also talk to my other SLP Friends on the phone who also have long commutes. I don't like the commute home as much but I'm home by 4pm so my days aren't too long. Starting September I will have to start doing daycare drop offs and pickups too which will add a little time to my days.
-
5 minute walk to the train station and 10-15 minutes on the train. I really hate driving.

@oliviaoblivia: Do you walk in the winter? How do you not freeze??
-
It's about 25-30 minutes or so on the El. It takes about 2-3 minutes to get our stop.
-
@Smurfette: body fat. It's not too bad, but it does take longer when there's snow or ice.
-
@oliviaoblivia: ha! I wouldn't be able to walk I would be so bundled up.
-
10-15mins
-
With daycare drop off or pick-up, it takes 45 minutes.
-
30 mins from our house, to the babysitters, and back to work. 10 minutes from work to home (DH does pick up).
-
10 minute walk to daycare, then 15ish minute walk to the office from there. Takes 30-35 min total with the stop at daycare.
-
15 min drive

My DH and I were talking about commutes last night and he had a magazine that had some snippets in it that really made sense to me:
1) A Swedish study made a splash in 2011 when it found that couples in which one partner commutes a long way to work (more than 45 mins.) are 40% more likely to divorce than couples who don’t have to travel so far for their jobs. http://healthland.time.com/2011/06/07/qa-why-commuting-sucks-the-life-out-of-you/
2) A person who commutes an hour each way has to make 40% more money to be as satisfied with life as a person who lives near the office. http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052702304626104579123410861484896 -
7-10 minutes.

I'm in a long commute city, Houston, but DH and I were lucky enough to find this fabulous house in the perfect area for both of our jobs. He has a seven minute commute and I have a 12 minute commute!
