Commuting

MRiGnS · 11-16-2007

Do you or don't you?
How long does it take for you to get to work, how far is it away and how do you get there?

MRiGnS · 11-16-2007

I do.

I work in Luxemburg, my working place is about 130km(~80miles) away from my home.

Usually it takes ca. 2hours to get there by tram > train > bus.

I don't, I work from home.

However, I can travel various distances when visiting client sites.

I live 10 minutes from work. It's fantastic. I don't think I could stand a long commute.

So, MRiGnS, do you work an eight hour day? If so, you spend 12 hours going to work, working, then going home? That's insane, IMO.

Fuck that! Four hours a day on a stinky train? Can you at least have a few beers on the train or something? Why don't you move closer to your job or get a job closer to your home?

I'm a 25-minute drive from work door to door. I drive my own car, by myself, and sneak in the HOV lane like all good red-blooded patriotic Americans.

Google maps puts my commute to work at 12mins, I get there in 5-8. Soon I will be working from home

Yes, it's a long ride, but isn't that boring with a laptop and umts.
Well, this city is exactly in the middle of mine and my wife's working place.

And it's a great job you don't get offered everyday.

	For just an instant, have a glimpse, a vision, of life through my eyes. It is a staggeringly joyous perspective, a view of how each person's choices can make their own life better. It is a vision of the possible, of how things can and should be.
