My, that sounds like a euphemism for a unpleasant practice, doesn’t it?

However, I’m merely referring to the old proverb. Yesterday we went to work early: work by whatever MEB call themselves these days necessitated a bit of remote admin on Saturday to shut off some stuff (reducing the UPS load), and an early start to make sure all was well.

So, we left home at 6:20, took 30 min lunch, and left at 2:30. The net result? We saved about 20 minutes on the journey in, about 15 on the journey out, used less fuel, and had lots of time in the evening. All by going out 1 hour earlier and by taking a lunch break no longer than we needed.

My point? Dunno. But I do much prefer early start-early finish. I hate travelling in rush hour, and it seems so crazy that we all do it each day because that’s how it’s been done. I’m not the only one to think so. The technology is there to allow a lot of people to perform at least some of their job at home- so why damage the environment and frustrate ourselves travelling to sit in an office, especially all doing it at the same time?
