Today was the first day that I voluntarily took advantage of our mobility program and worked at home. I say “voluntarily” because I also worked at home on Christmas Eve, but I think everyone works at home that day normally. The reason I worked at home today was because I didn’t want to spend my time sitting through the rush hour crawl, although it would provide me time to listen to some CDs I’m auditioning.

But as it turns out, I ended up driving to work eventually because I had an important presentation to attend. It was a web/tele conference so I could have presented at home, but I ended up going in because there were other Toronto folks involved. Ironically, the other Toronto person that was on location ended up calling in from their desk because the conference room I booked was too far away.

The drive itself wasn’t too bad, it took me 45 minutes to get there — about twice the normal non-traffic rate. I dreaded the drive back because the roads weren’t entirely clear and it would be rush hour; but luckily everyone left early (or worked at home) so my trip back was pretty normal.
