how far are you willing to live from work

[zixxer]

ok polls are really broken... might work now


this is with traffic... traffic is pretty bad where i live. the 'new house' would take 15 min at most with NO traffic

 

[skyking]

I've done a 90 minute commute before. That would be the upper limit for me.

 

[acemcmac]

depends completley on how much traffic I'm expecting and how fast of a car I can afford....

 

[Chaotic42]

30 minutes+ 1 minute*[Yearly Salary - $50,000]

i'm at my maximum distance right now. 35-40 minute commute.

I live, go to school and work in the city. 30 min commute if I drive, 60 min if I bus. Wouldn't have it any other way. It's the damn traffic that's causing the long commutes. Everybody's driving. If I drive, I have to walk a mile to work from the place I park my car.

 

[compuwiz1]

30 minutes max here. That's about what it is for me anyway.

 

[minendo]

30 minutes max.

 

[Patt]

less than 25 minutes, or I won't do it. Not worth my time. Currently I'm a 25 minute highway drive (in good weather), and the snow we've had in the last couple of days makes it closer to 35. :| Doesn't sound too bad, but several of my friends have hit animals this year, and/or gone into the ditch.

poll fixed.. i think

Right now I live 120 miles from my office. Just today I decided that I can't take this much longer (and I've only been here a few weeks), even though the company pays for me to stay in a hotel every work night.

wow
wth do you do?

edit: i live about 3 miles from work, so my trip is 6-15 minutes depending on traffic.
i could deal with a half-hour, but probably wouldnt live any further than that.

 

[Linflas]

10 minutes but my house isn't 20 years old.

 

[EatSpam]

Depends on the neighborhood, I suppose. I guess I'm fortunate that all three of your options are within 10 minutes of work.

 

[mugs]

Mine used to be 75 miles/90 minutes, I would NOT do that for an extended period of time. 40 minutes seems pretty reasonable now. My current commute is < 10 minutes (4 miles)

 

[Albis]

i would do up to a 40 minute drive each way

 

[Daniel]

My work is planning on moving. They are about an hour away from me now, they are moving another 40 mins away, no thanks.

Unfortunately, I really can't say what I'm doing right now. It's not a full-time permanent position, though, so I'm probably going to stick it out as long as I can handle being away from home.

I may be transferred closer to my home, though, in which case I would be very very happy with my current company.
