Depends on the "refueling" on the way home. There is a pub at the half way point (I'm serious), now you can't walk past and not call in to say "hello", it would be rude, wouldn't it.Quote:

When I was last working full time in Perth, it took me about 10 minutes to get to work and about 20 minutes to get home. I was staying in an apartment in Adelaide Tce (almost in the Perth CBD) and working in an office in Nedlands. Travel times would have been significantly longer had I worked "normal" office hours - but I was always the first in the office at about 5:00am and finished up anywhere after about 2:00pm most days, so I was not really bothered by Perth traffic. Had they insisted I work "normal" hours and travel at the same times as everyone else, well - I would have left that job a long time ago ...........................
City traffic, especially at peak periods, you can keep it. I have never worked in a job that required me to travel in that mess, and never will. ;) However, I have worked quite a few jobs over the years where my travel time to and from the job each day was about an hour or so. Don't mind that - but in country / bush areas only. Not even vaguely interested in doing it in "suburbia" thanks. :cool:
These days, my ute is work. Step outside hop in and I'm there.
In my old fun days I lived in the British Virgin Islands and my office was in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
My record for getting to work was 5 days 12 hours. Mostly used to take 8-10 days.

If I walk, then about 15mins.
If I drive, 3mins.
I work 1.2kms away from home... It's a rough life.... actually no, I think it would be better to live a little further away because I dont think the car likes it much
In my last job I lived at work, so get out of bed and I am there. Current job is about 15 minutes to the depot where the trucks are parked
Depends which office I'm working from...
Option 1: (first choice) office is 8km away.... so worst case 15-20 min in peak hour.
Option 2: (when I have to..) office is 1-1 1/4 hrs in peak... or 30-40 minutes out of peak.
Option 3: (Sydney Office)....average 3 - 3 1/2 hrs door to door
Heaven forbid, you're nothing if not polite Jim. :DQuote:
