How far is your commute to work? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

ThomasE · 09-04-2007, 01:30 PM

I know that is can be as much as 2 hours for some and then for others, it could be just 2 yards (like someone that I know on the board that will remain nameless. LOL) I recenty scored an interview with a marketing firm in Weschester County,NY(Tarrytown) and am staying in Manhattan for the time being. My Aunt and Uncle tell me that the location is too far and that I should try to get something work related within NYC. However, this is the first company that called me for an interview and I was not even expecting the call.

The commute by car is 45 minutes and by train and bus would be 52 minutes. Since it is 28 miles, it does not bother me at all. I see what they are saying but people commute all the time. Opinions, anyone?

8 miles - I take the main roads - usually takes about 15 minutes to and fro since I work second shift and miss rush hour.

During the summer, it was an hour and 20 minute train ride for me to get to the city and then another 5-10 to get to work.

Why don't you just quit it, coach? Show off! LOL. You are one lucky dude. It is not a ten mile walk is it?

Number 9 Dream · 09-04-2007, 03:46 PM

Less than 10 minutes...I work really close to home, thank god

catlover79 · 09-04-2007, 04:05 PM

My last job was less than a mile from home, so I often walked. Didn't have to worry about gas money...those were the days,

25min to half hr to get to my job!

Czas na Zywiec · 09-04-2007, 04:26 PM

About a 15 minute walk from my house. I refuse to waste an hour or two in a car stuck in traffic.

JoPol_wannabe · 09-04-2007, 04:40 PM

I live out in the country between 2 towns and I work in both. My full-time job is only 5 miles from where I live and I just have to drive on the highway and my part-time job is 10 miles from my place. And there both in small towns I don't have to worry about rush hour or heavy traffic the only thing I have to worry about is winter weather.

ThomasE · 09-04-2007, 05:23 PM

Well I did my interview today. The train that I took to get there was not a bad ride at all. It was a 37 minute ride to get there. If I am offered the position, I am not sure if I will take it or not.
