You're out to lunch with a group of coworkers and talking about your daily routines. One coworker says that her commute to work is 45 minutes long. You want to continue the conversation, so you tell how long your commute time is. You say:
It only takes me about 15 minutes.
commute, routine, small talk, time, work (topic) You usually stop by the supermarket or the gym after work before coming home. But yesterday you wanted to get home earlier because you are hooked on a TV show that you've been watching on DVD. You tell your friend
I went straight home after work to watch it.
To "go straight to" somewhere means going there directly, without going anywere else on the way. Notice that you use "to" with most destinations:
went straight to work
go straight to the police station
go straight to my house
However, "home" has its own special rules. You shouldn't use "to" with "home":
go straight home
When talking about your job as an activity during your day, you should use the term "work" - not "my job", "my work" or any other variation.
I had an interesting coversation at work today.
She goes running in the morning before work every day.
