51 Minutes

51 minutes is the time it takes to walk from my apartment to the subway, ride the subway, transferring lines twice to get to the right stop, walk to work and take the elevator to the floor I work on.

It's a long ride. Oddly enough, it's around the same amount of time it used to take me to commute in from Oshawa. Guess I've become very used to 15 - 20 minutes it takes if I drive instead of taking transit.

51 minutes, oddly enough, seems to go by much faster when broken into approximately 15 three and one half minute segments.

Three and one half minutes is around the average length of a song on my MP3 player.

You are good and look on the bright side. Another one is you can relax and get some exercise.
My work is only 10minutes from here. We only have one car so when my husband takes it I walk 15 minutes to the buss and it takes 20 minutes with the bus to drop me nearly off at the place. Still not bad

Breaking down a commute in such a way, does make it more tolerable, doesn't it?
But I loved the rythmn to the post.
Your thoughts in sync with the actual commute.
Interesting, pv!
