Theoretically, over an hour.
How long is your commute?

I live almost 20 miles from the nearest Metro station and the closest stop to where I work is a mile away. So I have to drive. (Metro is very good for getting commuters to downtown Washington, but not so good at getting anyone to any other part of the DC metro area.)
It's typically an hour and twenty minutes to go 35 miles at the beginning of rush hour. Going home is not as bad because I can beat rush hour. It's a little over an hour going home. The good thing is I don't always have to go in. I can work from home a couple of days each week.

And you drive?
Mine is too long. About an hour and 15 minutes on the bus to East Flatbush on Mondays and Wednesdays Via the bus, and and hour and 20 minutes on the J train to the bus on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I hate it.
My commute to Manhattan is nice, though.
That is pretty much my commute. I wish I could figure out how Squiggy gets to the Metro so much faster than me: it takes me 15-20 minutes and I am cutting through the neighboring apartment complex.
About 45 min from home to office by subway. I enjoy the time reading, so it's ok for me.
About 10-20 minutes depending on traffic to one base at the moment. About 25-30 to the other. Not bad, not great... but OK. About the limit of what I'm happy with, anyway.
At one point I was dealing with an hour each way for 6 months. Didn't like that one little bit. Last year it was about 45 minutes each way. Anything over about 40 minutes becomes very dull, very quickly. At one point though, I had a job with about 5 minutes walk! Another two jobs, I had probably only 2 minutes walk, but those two don't really count, since I had free accommodation on site provided for me then.

About the same for me. Well, unless the wind is really strong and blowing in the wrong direction
I live less than 10 miles from my place of employment. At this rate, my little Hyundai is going to last me forever. 
My commute time varies from day to day. During the week, it can range from 30-35 minutes with little to no hassle to an hour, because some idiot broke down or the commuters randomly decided to cause a traffic jam. When I leave the house each morning, I really have no idea how long it's going to take. One tiny little incident could cause a whole lot of trouble on the roads. I work weekends, and there's never any problem. Roughly 30 minutes each way.
45-50 minutes to complete a 35 mile commute to work, the first ten miles of whch is along a winding mountain road leading from my home in the Angeles National Forest. I do it at night, though, and in the opposite direction of traffic flow generally speaking, so it doesn't bother me. Gives me time to shift gears, mentally, and prepare for work.

That actually kind of happened to me a week ago. I was walking home, and got caught in a blizzard that appeared from nowhere and caused a bit of a whiteout. What fun...

Takes me about 8 seconds. Home office.
I'm a 10 minute walk from my work as well.
