If you commute when its not rush hour, your trip time will drop in half.
I can work whenever the hell I want by I try to leave the house by 7:30, get to work by 8 and then leave around 4:30.

work 9:30 to 6, so i get the sloppy seconds of both the morning and afternoon rush. all suburban/neighborhood shortcuts, zero highway.
10 miles, 30 minutes, no matter how fast i actually drive.

7ish-4ish. 15 minutes with traffic, 10 minutes normally. I miss rush hour both ways which is great except that I'm heading to work.
Two feet.
I leave at 8:40ish to get there by 9:30, 26 miles. ~50 min to do what would otherwise be a 30 min drive w/o traffic, so I shouldn't complain too much. It just sucks stopping on the highway, which makes up most of my drive.
1 hour lunch, I try to work at least 8 hours/day.
I head home around 6:30 or 7, drive back is on average much better. Sometimes as little as 35 min.
A couple times a month, something big will go down and the drive can be an hour+ :? OTOH, a couple times a month it's a government holiday, or the mexicans are marching downtown, or (once) it snowed a little and no-one went to work, and it takes 30 min. yay! :wink:

leave house around 8:25, get to work between 8:55 and 9:15, lunch optional, leave 5 to 8, get home 30 minutes later.

No longer onyachin.
Leave house between 6:30 - 9:30, get to work 25 minutes later, leave from 3 - 10, back home 25 minutes later. Lately, I've been cutting out early to take a nice ride home, then I work on reports and managerial crap for a couple of hours in the evening (with my loyal assistant Beer).

I work 8 to 4 m-f. Takes about 45 mins to get there (cville)
Usually at work around 0730 and leave when my work is done... or sometimes I work until a normal departure hour, then come home and continue to work from my couch. Commute each way is 8-10 miles (depending on whether I'm at the client or at the office) and takes about 15-20 minutes max.

My morning commute is about 10 feet from my bed to my desk, but I normally grab a shower first, so that's another 80 to 100 feet. Then I sit down at my desk for a few hours whenever I feel like it and bang out some Über-price code. I'm currently working on a project where I'm billing roughly the balance on my Mercedes.

my morning commute is almost always side roads. Which is nice on a nice day. Little traffic and it's about 25 minutes one-way.
my hours are usually 8:30-5:30, but i try to get here by 8 so i'm out by 5. I really wish i could come in earlier and leave earlier, but i have to be here due to gov't (client) hours since i'm located on-site.
Fortunately since i'm on-site i'm only working 8 hours a day. Within a month i should be transferred back to my company's HQ in Falls Church then i'll be working more hours.
Cliff notes:
commute time
now - 25 minute
future - 25 minute
hours
now - 8-5
future - 8-6/7 or later

Oh, I forgot to mention that my commute is right around 20 miles of farm country back roads, and I don't hit a stoplight until just before my office building on the outskirts of Charlottesville. Its therapeutic, to say the least.

I make my own hours at work, so really it all depends on my mood, but typically it's:
6:30am wake up
7 - 8 workout at gym
9am leave for work
9:20am arrive at work
5:30pm leave for home
6pm arrive home
