Driving to work

What's the farthest you drive to work? And if you use to commute to work far and wide how long did that last? I got myself a job but will have to drive about an hour each way,I'm not too thrilled about it but at the same time I feel like this job could help me earn a lot of money and even get promoted eventually.

35 min is the longest my commute has ever been, though that could stretch to 45 depending on traffic. Right now it is about 12 min.

The furthest I've ever had to drive was about 75 miles one way. I did that for 3 years and it was enough lol

I commuted an hour each way for 20 years. I didn't mind it. You get used to it.

My DH works 25 miles away, mostly on the highway. It takes him about 25 minutes in the morning because he leaves at 4:40 am. On the way home it can take anywhere from 1/2 hour to 3 hours, depending on the weather and traffic. He says he doesn't mind the ride to work but driving home makes him annoyed - too many people on the road.

I drive a little over an hour each way. I like it; on the way in I listen to the news so I'm prepped for work (I work in news) and on the way home I decompress. Today was a tough day at work and if I didn't have that hour o decompress, I'd need to go somewhere other than home for a while to get all the steam out!

I used to work 15 minutes from home. Not really a great thing if I'd had a bad day.
