Your morning commute~

[Feersty]

Damn Derek, you lucked out.

lol - he was looking for something in the area since he knew where he would be working...i'd hardly call that luck

when I go into the office, its 50 min each way. Sometimes I just drive straight to job sites, which is usually a shorter drive. Often I get to the office, then drive a company vehicle another hour + to sites... and then all the way home- 2-2.5 hrs... kinda sucks but I love driving.

[Feersty]

Took me 2 hours and 15 minutes to go 17 miles today. Gotta love when they do road work on halloween night when all of the parents are rushing trying to get home.

[Mike]

my new commute rocks. 10 by car, 13 by bike, 24 running.

[Steve85]

About 15-20 minutes depending on whether I go through town or take 37 to 81. Sure as hell better than the 75miles each way from Winchester to JMU I did for the last 3 years. Could not talk the wife into letting me move in a frat house :roll:

[John]

My commute depends on the day.

Work from home (2 days / week on average) - approximately 5 seconds.

Client site (3 days / week on average) - 13 miles one way and usually takes me 22 minutes (that's morning rush hour here - LOL). If there's a jumper on the Coronado Bridge, then add 30-40 minutes.

man, 7 blew ass this morning. I think i heard a blip about a motorcycle wreck. had it tied up for miles and miles

[ScottyB]

my office moved, so instead of 30 miles in 40 minutes it's 20 miles in 30.

the thing that kills me though is that it takes 15 minutes to go the 4 miles from my house to I-85N...then it only takes 10-15 to go the remaining 15 miles or so to work on the interstate. :?

So how long did it take you Mr. I Don't Mind About A Long Commute?

[WRXtranceformed]

Mine went from 15 mins (Leesburg) to 30 mins (Winchester) just a few days ago. I don't mind much though, that's just all 7 heading in the opposite direction of traffic =)

[Evan]

Just had a talk with anne last night about how she refuses to ever have any commute over 30minutes, and will never drive to work.

...living in fantasy land....

[Apoc]

Live in the city and that's probably never going to be an issue.

FWIW, when I got this job I had a strict limit of 45 min max... and was living in Leesburg.

[Evan]

yeah, she has lived in a city since she graduated high school.
hasnt driven a car since high school either.

i told her she should just be single then and keep living in the city until she is 40 like the crusty sex and the city sluts.

Why cant you continue living in the city, without a car, indefinitely? I certainly see the appeal to it and the marginal downside is cost - offset by not owning/insuring/maintaining 8 miatas.

If it werent for these stupid hobbies I'd probably be living in DC. I've got family living in NYC, and they have a car but they never use it.

[Evan]

of course she can, thats my point

just be single then and keep living in the city until she is 40 like the crusty sex and the city sluts.

[.RJ]

Well, she probably doesnt want to live on a miata farm frathouse either...

I just dont see a problem living in the city forever if thats what you want :dunno:

It's really the same reason you probably couldn't live on a rural farm all your life. It's just not your thing.

It's nigh impossible to raise kids in a big city unless you live in the poopoo part of town. There's that and some people actually want to have a yard for their kids to play in. I could live in the city for awhile, especially if it was in an European country... but I wouldn't want to raise kids and/or grow old in one. I think that was Evan's point.

Why?

[Apoc]

Use your head man and stop acting so dumb.

Kids are very expensive and so is living in the nice part of a city. Most of us don't make that kind of money and don't want our kids growing up ducking bullets. Even if you could stretch your dollars, do you really want to live in a 900 sqft condo with 2 kids?
