As I was in the construction business for most of my life, I had to drive to various job sites. Most were within 25 miles but one job was a little over 1000 miles away and we stayed there for two weeks.

1000 miles? That was a long way. Did you like working that far away?

I did like it. We were in Florida, fixing a winter home that was damaged in a hurricane. A very wealthy customer of mine asked us to go down and make repairs. The offer was just too big to refuse, as he was paying us a hefty sum for two weeks of work. We busted our tails and finished in one week and spent the second week cruising the sights in Florida.

I worked at the job I retired from for 20 years. The first 6 years I was there I only drive 8 miles each way. Then in 2000 I moved father out, so I drove 30 miles each way.

Out of all the jobs I  had most commutes were 15 miles or less each way. My last job the shortest route in distance was 12 miles, but because of traffic it usually took 45 minutes or more to get home. I switched to a route that added an extra 5 miles but with the lack of traffic I got home in 20-25 minutes.

When I first got my job I would travel 31 miles one way excluding the side trip I took to drop my daughter off with my sitter. Then when she started 1st grade I transferred to the store that was less then a mile from my house. I never could use the excuse my car broke down cuz I would just walk! Lol!

My commute takes about 25 minutes each way. I don't really mind it. I get to listen to audio books.
