If the road is free and I drive fast (200+ kph where legal), I can do it in about 20 minutes. But I rarely do that as it costs so much fuel. :(
Damn, how am I going to explain the stain on the front of my pants to co-workers?

Germany, it can be a wonderfull place.

5-10 mins to the base gate, 10 or so from the gate to work, as I have to loop around the flightline.

F-22s taking off/landing right over your head sometimes is pretty neat though.

Assuming no transit strike and no one jumps in front of the train, 25-30 minutes; one bus and one subway.

31-45 with subway/tram, depending on if there's an issue on a line (like tonight) or if I catch connecting trains as they pull in.

Car would be as fast.

How long do you lot commute for?
Work from home.  So I commute for about 30 sec. :D
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

Do they sleep in that time?

I take 30mins to eat lunch & half of it is spent reading.

The rationale for such long hours, I guess, is that they expect people to go back home for lunch and then back to work. If you do that, you kinda need that much time.
is your work day 10 and a half hours to compensate? I'm thinking of moving to spain :D

In theory. In practice there's lots of unpaid overtime. My record, and it is fairly low, is 15 hours of non-stop working, which is normal during commissioning.
