Re: s/o moving: GTKY (work)
I usually walk with DS and drop him off at daycare because it's nearby. The entire trip (from our house to daycare to work) takes about 45 min.
If I don't take DS I can bike to work in 10 min or walk in 25. If need be, I can drive in 5-15 min (5 with zero traffic, but 15 at normal rush hour times...yes, biking is faster.)
I live something like 1.3 mi from work. Daycare is about 0.2 mi from work.
We're moving in the summer and I'm taking a new job. I don't know what our new arrangement will be yet, but it will be nothing like this and I'm not looking forward to having to live a more normal life where I have a long commute, use a car more, etc....
ETA: I did not realize this was one of those post-each-thing-separately posts. I can't deal and won't follow rules, but I will answer the other questions.
I am a scientist and I'm going to be a professor next fall.
I like my job, but I'm looking forward to doing more teaching next year. What I love about my current job, though, is that the hours are SUPER flexible, which they won't be as much next year.
I'm a SAHM, so I live at work.
BUT, I used to work exactly 4 minutes from my house at the job I had when I had Jack. I would sleep as long as possible, and therefore would still get there late some days. lol
You don't have to
That sounds really cool! I can't wait until I'm finished with school and can finally teach!
It takes me an hour to get to work (drive 2 miles to a train station and then about a 50-55min train ride).
I do bookkeeping and general office manager type stuff for a very small non-profit that focus on agriculture and conservation.
Sometimes the work itself it's that thrilling, interesting or great. But it's a really great group of people. I have the most understanding and flexible boss ever (she had her first baby 6 months before DS was born). I only work part-time (3 days a week, 6 hours each day) and a handful of hours from home.
So the long crappy commute isn't too bad since I have a lot of other perks at my job.

20 min without LO, 45 with daycare drop off
I work as a social services case manager at a nursing home. I basically do social work, but I don't have a formal social work education (my BA and MA) are in psychology).
I really like it.
I was a receptionist/AP clerk
I liked it. Hated the commute though.

I work about 45 minutes away by car. I take mostly back roads though, so it's pretty consistent. No highway traffic, which is great!
I am a teacher and I mostly like it, except when it gets super crazy or I have a lot of grading.
Will probably go into the court reporting field though when my SAHM time is up. Grafuated with that degree two years ago.
This just made my day. How can you argue with that?
