bong 0 Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Must be good. Though do you sometimes want to get out and away? 20 mins for me. Link to post Share on other sites
Davo 1 Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 About 50 mins door-to-door if I time it right. Too long in other words. I want to stay being a househusband for a little longer. Link to post Share on other sites
damian 0 Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 15-20 minute walk. I really appreciate being able to walk to work and back each day. It makes a difference. Link to post Share on other sites

misorano 1 Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Depends if I go straight from the bedroom to work or from the dining room. Prob. a good 15 seconds from the bedroom, but less than 5 from breakfast. Mind you there may be a change in things that may extend the commute up to 30 seconds. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Hurrying home for dinner used to piss me off a lot. Now my son just shouts upstairs when it's time. If we had a 3-story house, that might be just a bit too far to commute comfortably. Link to post Share on other sites
misorano 1 Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Those stairs can be a bitch on cold, windy days can't they? Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Yeah, no shit! But in the new house, those stairs will be properly insulated. Just got to be careful not spill my coffee. Link to post Share on other sites
indosnm 0 Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 5 seconds in a hurry, 10 secs at ease. I get the same as you O11, "Da-ddy, dinner time!" Sometimes it would be nice not to work at home, especially when my kids get home from Kindy. Link to post Share on other sites

nzlegend 1 Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 5 mins tops usually less, depends how many old crazy women I have to swerve on the way. I hate walking as a form of commuting, cycling is the only way to go. Link to post Share on other sites
scouser 4 Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Yous all boasting. 40 minutes for me right now. Link to post Share on other sites
JPchucky 0 Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 About an hour and 20 min. for me Link to post Share on other sites
jgraves 0 Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 I worked at home for the past year and half. For me, not having a clear barrier between work and personal started driving me insane. After almost 2 months of commuting now, I'm still happy to have that 45 minutes of distance between work and home. Wish I didn't have to stand the entire time on the subway, and I'm sure I'll get sick of it soon enough, especially when the baby's born, but for now I gotta say, its far better than working at home. A 10-20 minute bike ride would probably be the ideal commute, though. Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Lot of people on here live pretty close to work And it looks like most of the Tokyo peeps have a long way into work Is it really that important to live in Tokyo? 2-3 minutes to class 20 minutes to my High School Link to post Share on other sites

Man, Home wins over commuting on public transport anyday. I used to go 45min each way and got to sit down and read a book but with that 90mins I'd rather go to the gym than waste my time on a train.
