    A half mile. I would go stark-raving-mad if I had to put up with traffic on a morning commute. I get annoyed if I have to wait for more than one car to pull onto Main Street.

    afflicted I bet that new move is killing your gas tank now huh? lol..

    all joking aside I used to only live 7 miles from my work...but when we had our Daughter 11yrs ago we decided to move to Pa and get a nicer house, better area and allow my Wife to stay home and cheaper as well...don't regret that decision at all but there are times I get frustrated with the daily commute and miss being so close to work lol

    I'll walk some days maybe ride a bike or take the truck if I haven't finished my coffee for the morning, it is nice to be able to leave the house at 7 and still get there at 7. I'm so use to it now if I had to drive further I'd hate it.

    Nah the boss man let's me take whatever days off I want for hunting or whatnot as long as we aren't busy so it's not bad lol he's into hunting and fishing as well so it helps.

    55 miles one way, about an hour and ten minute drive from my house. Fortunately, my company provides a van to drive out.
