How long does it take you each day to drive to work?

Well, I guess how long it takes me depends on the day. Some days, I have about a 30 second walk to the barn. Other days, I have a 3 hour drive to an event. I train horses here at home, and I am also an equine massage therapist, so I go to some weekend events, where I will work two or three days from sun up to sun down. I sometimes have clients bring their horses to me to massage here at the ranch. But for the most part, I work here at the ranch so my work is about 30 seconds away. This time of year, I work less, because of the weather, but during the summer, I'll be out at the barn with the horses most of the day. And yes, I love my job (most of the time). The last couple days have been rather tiring, as it was time to do the barn cleaning. That is a dirty, dusty, not so fun part of my work, but, by doing it now, when it's still fairly cold, the smell is less, which is a plus. But the barn is just about ready for spring. I've still got some work to do, but that is not going to get done tomorrow.. we're going from our high of 45 yesterday and today to a high of 18 degrees tomorrow. Betting I spend most of my day in the house!!! (note I said "most" because there's still chores that have to be done for the horses) The only downfall is there's not many days off around here. But it sure beats commuting to a job and a boss. I'm my boss, and I wouldn't trade it for a million dollars!

So you are a teacher by profession..thats nice to hear that you enjoy teaching.. I have recently started working .. about 6 months ago. For the first 4 months i used to stay in the company campus itself during the training period.. so there was no headache of travelling.. Then i got posted to a different city where the company's campus is about 17 kms far from the main city..I had been living at my cousin's place till now.. Though i have not decided where to take a flat.. but it would be a result in either case ..if a take a flat near the company campus or near the city... I have to bring my bike too.. I love riding my bike so i dont mind travelling for an hour..Earlier i used to go to Delhi from Noida ..by my bike which would take me about 50 mins due to traffic.. I hate travelling by bus..Infact i loved my ride of over 140 kms which i made from Delhi to my hometown.. So i think i wont mind travelling to my office unless and until there is a time constraint...So that i wont have to get up early in the morning..

Hi Kiran ah what a discussion may be good for those who are living very near to their work place i use car to go to work and its about 60Km from My work place and it took me 60-70 mins to reach home. sure its extra use of fuel and car maintaince too well i like my job and other thing i have no option other than that as all industry is away from where i live so it seems we are 2 of same kind Take care

The amount of time spent in getting to work greatly depends on what mode of transportation I am using. :) Whenever I commute using a public utility vehicle, usually it's 30 minutes. When I get a cab, it's less than 20 minutes and when I get my dad to drive me for work, its more or less 15 minutes. Am happy cos Ive never been late to whichever mode of transportation I am settled at. :)

i experience different kinds of job, sometimes i travel by bus and walk...it is difficult to work like this but because you love your work it doesn't matter...i have also a good or nice job, my co-workers said that i am lucky that i have that kind of work but i decided to a voluntary resignation because i didn't love my work...so now i am a student again and do managing my own business....i am happy now...maybe this is my line or shall we say my world...

Well I travel by bus and subway and i think its nearly one hours to go, and other hour to come back. Not much but here on Brazil, at 6 pm, all the buses and subways are full...

It would take me around 15 minutes to get to work by car, if I were to take the bus it would take me an hour to arrive, plus to 20 minutes walk inside going to the office.

I don't have to get out of bed at any given time and I don't have to drive to work because I am retired. When I did work it took me between 10 and 15 minutes to get to work depending on the traffic. But now that I am retired I am busier than I was when I was working for a living.

I drive my own car and it only takes about five minutes as I live very close to where I work. So I am very lucky!

normally, it will take about 30 minutes for me to get to work by driving a car. but during rush hour, it can take me an hour of driving. Of course, driving my own car will cost me more than taking a public transportation but I can save much time. that's why i prefer to drive a car that I still can drop my son to his school on my way to work.

It take me 0 hours 0 minutes and 0 seconds to drive to work. I am a stay at home mom so I am already at my place of work when I wake up in the morning. My work is taking care of my kids all day long and cleaning the house.

It is also from 50 mins to 1 hour to get to work in my case. And this happens every day. I really hate it:-)

it takes about 20 minutes and I drive a van which sucks because gas is so high. But we have to do what we have to do..

I get out the bed and walk 10 feet and get on the computer and network all day simple and easy money while i watch my son and tske care of him

Hi Kiran! Fortunately for me, my workplace is just a block away from my rented room. It's just a walking distance giving me 5 minute walk vise versa. I find it convenient for me and stress free specially when there are times like transport strikes. I don't worry about those anymore especially because strikes really happen here in the Philippines.

hi kiran unfortunatley i do not drive so am unable to comment on this subject,but do admire your dedication to your work and the amount of time you take each day to get there--i do ave to ask what do you teach? you must be on maternity leave now the baby is so near to be born? blessings littleowl

i dont work i go to college it takes me like an hour !!

I enjoy driving. It's nice being alone with music and a relaxing seat. I would look at that as the upside of a work day.
