24 miles, but opposite of rush hour traffic both in the morning and afternoon, so it's a nice drive.

About 20km. Takes me about 20min. There's no traffic at the times I go in and come home.

Was 55 miles each way. New job is 3 miles each way and I work from home 2 days a week + 1 whole week each month.

Never going back to an hour long commute again. Waste of time, life and money. Find a new job or move if you are currently doing it.

Home office since 2002. Literally a 10 second walk upstairs to my office from my kitchen.

without where you work or what you do this just sounds like you have a part-time job at walmart.

If it works out financially, working at Walmart or any "low end job" with a very short commute beats any job with a long commute.

Of course any work from home job would beat anything. That would be awesome.
