How Far Are You from Your Office?

I am pretty far from my office. I have to be on the road by 6am so as not to get stuck in traffic. I need to get 3 rides from home. In the morning it will take me about 1 & hour to get there. And a lot more in the afternoon where traffic is just worst and we have to take a queue to get a ride. We will be moving to a new house soon and I hope that my travel time would be lessened by then.

I have two places where I work. I have a production company and specialize in dance performances with plans to add music in the future. I can do a lot of my practicing such as my warming up and other basic exercises at home, and also I use my home computer to conduct my company's online affairs. If I need more space, however, which is always an inevitability, I go to the studio at the YMCA, which is right down the road, less that five minutes away from where I live. I do that every night to practice and rehearse my performances and perform other endeavors (like other training exercises) that require more open space than I have in the house.

I live about 2 kilometers or 5 minute drive away from the office. So even if I wake up a little late, I can still make it at 8. The worst thing could happen is to be late for 30 minutes if, Something happened along the road. I drive for work.

Well it is about 15 miles from where I live and I go the back way so I don't have a lot of traffic it takes me about 30 minutes to get to work I try to leave a little early so I can get there on time but every time even if I leave early or late I always end up early or right on time. I wish I was closer too.

I haven't worked outside the house for the last four and a half years. However, when I did work outside the house, the longest commute that I ever had to work was about twenty minutes. The reason that I wasn't all that far from work is because I don't want to have to drive a long time to get to work because then I am spending a lot of money on gas and then I really don't have a lot of money left over to pay for essentials because I'm buying gas.

i have to travel 45 mins always to rach my office 45 mins goin 45 mins while coming so i agree to you if office would be near our house . but its has its own Pros and CoNs as well ;) so it all good the way it is i think :)

My main issue is getting the kids to school on time each morning. I work for myself and by myself, so I have had the good fortune to be able to set my schedule around their school schedule. It really is nice to be able to work like this, and it is even nicer being my own boss. I still have certain times to be at different locations each day, but if I am running late, it doesn't effect my work like it does a lot of other people. When my day of work outside the home is done, I retreat to my office that is comfortably located in my home, to do other things that need done each day. I think that if I were still working for someone else, I would be in big trouble. I am so used to my current schedule and the way it works, I am sure that I would be consistantly late if I had to really worry alot about the time.

Since i work from home - my living room is my office! lol! I hope in my new apartment I will put more of the office type stuff in my bedroom instead of the living room (except the computer of course). So My office is not far away and on the weekends I work in my pajamas!

Hello Chuyins123. I am working at home for the time being so my office is just right in my next room and I am also a mylot friend as well. However, I really hope to go to an office to work like I used to be as soon as possible. It is not fun to work at home and sometimes it can be so boring as well. It is true that I don't have to deal with all the headache for encountering any interpersonal relatioship when I work at home. But it is not too healthy to jsut face the computer and internet all the times because it is just a machine anyway.I hope I can have a great change as soon as possible. Have a good day.

My house to my office is about 20-30 minutes walk depending on how fast I walk. It's quite near if you think of it but like you, I am quite getting addicted to mylot and other online stuff that I wake up late every morning and end up taking a cab on my way to the office. Sometimes, I find it frustrating especially since my place is quite near to my work place compared to my office mates. If I take a jeepney, it usually takes 20 minutes for me to come to work with all the traffic going on. But now, since there are less students during rush hour, I can ride the jeepney and arrive at work for about 15 minutes.

Hi Chuyins, Don't think those who live close to the office are never late. For me it takes only 15 minutes from bus stop to bus stop and another 10 minutes to walk up to the site. But if I don't watch the time in the morning, I can but wave good-bye to my bus. The same applies at the end of the day: not being ready to leave the office on time may easily result in half an hour delay. Nevertheless, it's great to live close to the office. It happens sometimes that I have to do overtime until the last bus is gone. No problem, I can safely walk home even in the late hours of the night.

My office is 30 minutes away from my house, but even I sleep late I can manage to wake up early and go to my office on time. Maybe because of my body clock. If you use to wake up the same time everyday for 4 years, maybe you will not be late.

while reading your discussion i felt upset and guilty. my apartment was just almost beside my office, and i always do came here late, i woke up late every morning and i do my routine very slowly, it's almost been four years that i'm working here and i can't remember the last time i came here on time or before 8am.... that was weird and you are my IDOL

Not very far from where I live. It's like 1hr+20mins walk or 20mins bus. It's close enough 4 me

I used to live about 25 to 30 minutes away from the office as well, but then I started working on my own, self-employed, and now I don't have to drive anywhere because my office is in my own house. No more commuting, no more having to be there at a certain time, etc. At first it was kind of hard getting use to it, but now, I wouldn't change it for anything.

Hi chuyins123, I like working in place where it's quite near to my house. For sometimes I'm quite absent-minded and would forger this and that in a hurry. This usually would happen when I stay up late indulging in my online tv series You know we could hardly get up even having alarm set to wake us up early in the morning, right?! From the time you spend on the way to your office , seems that your workplace is quite far away from your residence. Oh gosh, 20 minutes drive, I still consider it's rather far. Therefore I pick my part time work where I need just a 3 minutes drive to reach it. In case I forget to bring any essential stuff it's very convenient for me to return home to get it in a short while For me easy commute is the first priority to choose a desirable job. It is not only saving travelling time and gasoline. If my car doesn't work I can reach my destination on foot easily. Happy posting

i am pretty lucky. although it takes about 23 mintues to walk for me, it only takes about 5 by car, so i can get up later and still not be late.

I am so lucky that I'm so close to where I work. It's just a block away and it takes me about 5 to 8 minutes walking. :)

more like 30 mins

I am lucky. I live about 5 minutes from my job by car.
