The Cycle to and from work optimist
Seems like a very American Poll.

A good 50% of the people in my office (Including me) cycle or walk to work. I guessed that you didn't include other options as you didn't think of them or that maybe most Americans drive everywhere. A complete generalisation of course  Or I jusst missed the point of the poll? I too am curious?

It would be very stupid of me to drive to work, optimist or not, for three obvious reasons:
1. I don’t have a car.
2. I don’t have a license.
3. My office is in my bedroom.

I mean drive in a general sense referring to any mode of commute. I guess it is an American thing. I never really thought of it. Most people either drive or take public transportation to work here.

OH I get this now.
Can't change my vote....but option 3 for sure.
Even if it was a job that was fine, it's just nice to be going home. Either because I'm tired, or bored, or just am glad to be going home. Optimistic though.
Try to keep a good mindset about going to work, so I usually feel fine.
My latest job was 2-10 and later 4-12 so I never had to deal with traffic going either way. Especially going home at night, the roads are nice and clear.

Would that mean that the other 50% of your office are American?

Aaah no only one actually. I don't know how she gets to work, probably drives an enormous gas guzzler I suspect>

Took me a while to get the question.  Drive from school, realist (voted pessimist, it's the closest option  ).

Even though I like my job, I like going home better except when it's early on a slow day. Oddly enough a good chunk of the commute in the middle isn't along the same route because if I used the one way access road in the mornings, well...

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

I'm asking if you prefer your commute going from your house to your work or your commute going from work to your house. Then I'm asking if you would say that you are an optimist or a pessimist.
