FabSwingers.com forum: Your daily commute?

By (user no longer on site) OP

Just read about a guy that commutes 1000's of miles to do a couple of days work but it's well worth it for him.

I'm lucky that my daily commute takes less than 30 mins, it's a lovely drive and I can work from home sometimes too.

Do you have far to travel to work? Is it a nice journey that you enjoy or done under duress?

My commute is an absolute nightmare.

I have to walk down a whole flight of stairs. Some mornings it can take a whole minute. Really not sure how much longer I can put up with this

My flaming cats do that too. One was asleep on the bathroom mat yesterday!

Do you miss not having anyone to talk to? I enjoy the banter when I go into the office.

I work from home so the only congestion that I have to endure is battling my way passed the two cats

In my old job I was a lone wolf too so I've never had that office banter type thing. I've always worked alone. It's a pretty solitary existence but it pays the bills.

A bit of the banter void is filled during the day by my inane waffling here

It pisses me off when I get to the kettle and someone is already there. Makes me want to turn around and go back to bed.

Sometimes I'm in the city.

I've done commuting by air - not private jet - and flying can get tedious. Though staff who know you ease the way, if a little late.

Now, as a student again, I have a very early start, usually combining gym and sub 30 minutes, with quiet traffic.

All that peddling must leave you knackered by the time you get there.

2 mile walk in for me. Lovely. Music, possiblecoffee stop, time to properly wake up and face the day. If I'm making good time I even grab a nice lunch salad thing on the way through town. The only issue with the walk is the state of my hair when I get there. And having to dry my duffle coat out on a radiator in the winter.

I used to work from home, but the commute got too much so I retired for 10 years

I work 34 weeks a year now though and hate the 80 mile round trip commute, but love the job and the time off eases the pain.

MAMOBA, miles and miles of bugger all (Aberdeenshire)

My office base is 15 miles away, the commute can take anything from about 15 minutes to an hour (I love the A96 - a main artery with a section controlled by traffic lights that is one direction of traffic at a time) but we cover a large area - so my commute can be walking within my village (its in my patch) or 25 miles - which can take 90 minutes at busy times.

More details required, although on the face of it, a transfer to your place sounds appealing.

What are the perks?
