My commute is about 3.5 miles, and takes me about 10-15 minutes, depending on how many school buses I encounter on the way.

For those who are interested, the SCOTUSblog's round-up of pre-argument coverage of the same sex marriage cases is here: [link]

There have been people waiting in line for one of the public seats since Friday.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

12 miles, 20 minutes on a typical morning in, 40 minutes home.

Except for the days where it's 0 feet from where I'd be spending much of the day anyway--that's 2 or 3 times a week.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

0.4 miles.

Bookmarking the SCOTUSblog (why had I not done that already)?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

This office has several mega-commuters, including one woman who lives in the Poconos.

The average commute for my zip code is 38 minutes +/- 10, which sounds about right - having this assignment so close to my house is an aberration.

I'm about 7 miles from work, so a 15 minute commute most days. Definitely beats the 77 mile/90 minute commute I used to have.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

16.5 miles by car. It takes 35-45 minutes to drive, about an hour by train (counting walking to and from the train stations) and about 90-110 minutes by bike.

This is the farthest commute I've had since a summer job I had in college. When work was in Evanston my commute was about 3.5 miles. 15 minutes by bike and about a 50 minute walk.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

My last job was about 26 miles one way. I do not miss that part, no.

My last Good Job before that was less than 3 miles away as the bird flies, but took as much time as the 26 mile commute -- OTOH, it was walking and subway, which was healthier and more relaxing.

I so hope my next job is easily accessible by public transportation!

My worst commute was when I lived in Wheaton, MD, and commuted, via the Beltway, to McLean, VA.

After that job, I decided that I never wanted to live anywhere that I needed to own a car.
