WE'RE FUMING!
With gas prices exceeding $3 a gallon in most states, I'd say that motorcycle of mine is looking more and more attractive.
Of course, it's not so attractive at night, in the rain or when you want to go somewhere with your family in tow. It's also not so attractive in rush-hour traffic.
But gas prices are stressing me out. I feel like I'm working to get to work to make enough money to get me home and then back to work the next day. Which means ... it's time for more companies to allow their employees to leave their desktops behind and work from home.
We certainly have the technology via secure Web browsers. And even if a fraction of regular commuters worked from home one day a week, it would save millions of gallons of gasoline a year. Not to mention that worker productivity might improve without all that stress from stupid-human interaction!
Being a stay-at-home employee sounds OK to me. Winning the lottery sounds even better.
