  • How long is your commute?

    How far do you drive to work and how many Lfs do you pass on the way?

    I drive 33 miles each way and pass 3 lfs. First is Aquatic World close to Jones and 290, next is City Pets off the beltway and then Dan's. It makes it fun coming home some days. I can just hit each store on my way.

    I drive 0 miles to work. The only traffic I have to contend with are the cats and dogs trying to trip me before I have my eyes good and open. I pass 0 lfs's on the way. But it does seem like you have the scenic route with all the lfs's.

        Yep, me too. I walk about 80 feet, from the bedroom to the office. But I pass 10 tanks on my 'commute'.

        That is one thing I miss about working in an office outside the house...stopping at LFS on my drive home or during lunch.

          I got a 10 mile trip that takes me about 25 minutes in the AM and about 40 in the afternoon. I too go by Aquatic World if I take jones road.

                  Hey Nick sounds like we work fairly close to each other. I work at 59 and Williams Trace but our new office is behind Papadeauxs.

                  And for all you people who work at home you make me green with envy!

                      I walk 20ft and pass (kinda, it's in my office) one 210g aquarium. Dress code is boxers and a T Shirt, except on casual Fridays My wife's office is about 80ft from mine so I get to enjoy lunch and "Coffee" breaks with her quite often. It's quite a change from The Woodlands to Katy

                        Hmm...let's see. 5 minutes to work, 5 minutes to school.

                        No seriously though, before I moved into town, I commuted from Spring to Houston for over a year and a half. About an hour and a half to two hours each day. Sucked.

                        Only LFS I pass is Fish Gallery.

                          I only drive 5 minutes to work, so I have to go outta my way to make it to TNT Fish and Reptile or Fish Gallery in Rosenberg. Favorite is Fish Gallery as they are more personable and TNT is always expensive, good stock, but expensive. Of course there is a Petsmart nearby which is good for supplies.
