Jack is a Dull Boy
Looks like another long day in the office for me again.I have a very strange work schedule. Well, maybe not very strange but strange enough that most people ask about it. Since I live almost 12 miles away from my office, you can imagine what my commute must be like. It’s not really that long but it can be at times stressful. There’s nothing to get your day off to a crappy start like sitting in bumper-to-bumper traffic on your way in.
So I adjusted my work schedule to get in a little after 7am. This allows me to leave here usually around 4:15pm - 4:30pm which lets me avoid the heaviest traffic. However, if I’m stuck at work for a meeting or in this case, a video teleconference with a subcontractor down in Australia, then I’m usually faced with a dilemma.
I could have, for instance gone straight home after leaving the VTC around 5:15pm. However, I would have been extremely aggravated by the time I get home. So I am opting to stick around here until about 6:45pm - 7pm to finish off what work I’ve been doing. Maybe I’ll use the extra hours to go home earlier on Friday. We’ll see.
*looks at watch* 1+ hours to go.
