My shortest commute matches Cash, if I go into the office it is more like 15 minutes with free parking.

My commute is basically rolling out of bed too. Roll out of bed, usually fall off the ladder because tops bunks are scary when you are not a morning person, put on my uniform, and shuffle off to whatever part of the ship I'm working in first. It's nice to be able to wake up 20 minutes before work and be on time.

My commute is about 20 minutes in the morning, but closer to 40 in the afternoon thanks to traffic patterns. 'Tis weird.

I'm packing, I swear!
However, when I need to be at 4:00 AM, I just don't go to bed.
I need to be functional for a work conference tomorrow afternoon, so not sleeping probably isn't the best choice for me.

Aaaah, alright then. That's a different story.
Last night was the first night in over a week I'd slept more than 3 hours. When it's your last week on a ship, no one ever lets you go to bed. It's been rough. I saw 4:00 more times last week than I really care to.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
My commute is about 80 minutes door to door. I live a ridiculous distance from the city centre. Leaves a lot of time for reading, though, and because I got on at the third stop, I'm pretty much assured of getting a seat at least.

My shortest commute was walking across the street. My longest was a 1 hour drive down a mostly country road and then back at night.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore
For my school-year job, my commute is 20 minutes getting there, 35 getting back (thanks, rush hour!) For babysitting this summer, it's going to be about 25 minutes each way, but there's going to be a bunch of extra driving because I'll be picking up kids and things. Also there's my apprenticeship at the vintage store (20 minutes) and the warehouse where I get books for my flea market booth (25 minutes). And it takes like 45 minutes on the Metro to get to Eastern Market on Sundays.
In conclusion: I am kind of busy!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
When I was working downtown, my total commuting time in a day when I was taking Emmett back and forth was about 3.5 hours.
Even when he was younger in the city getting him to his preschool and then to work was a 90 minute each way deal. It really ground me down.
I don't know if I've ever had a commute less than 40 minutes. Work and home always seemed to be far apart. Living in Boston, working in Cambridge. Leaving in Echo Park, working on the West Side. Living in the Haight; working downtown, or in Oakland.
There was a brief period when Emmett was little where his daycare was a block from the Muni stop, so it was incredibly easy to drop him off and pick him up. But then his daycare was at my job downtown, so I usually had to carry him in my arms on a crowded Muni train (where people would offer me a set about 25% of the time).
He's actually soloing on BART this Wednesday to come back to my house from Albany, which will be a huge boon over the coming year. I'll still drive him over to Albany, but he'll be able to BART home on many days.
