Late for work?

A friend sent me this. (A PowerPoint presentation) Watch it till the end.
Looks too weird too be true, but a great reason to be late for work!

More interesting than saying you're late yet again because of traffic .

Have you ever noticed the way Dublin traffic gets worse and worse coming up to Christmas and then eases after Christmas? Operation free flow started today- more commonly known as operation go slow in our neck of the woods.

Thankfully, I don't commute every day, but I still can't believe how much time I spend travelling to our corporate clients. Friday, due to roadworks, I took a wrong turn and spent 40 extra minutes sitting in traffic as a result. Luckily I'd allowed the additional time as I hate the stress of being late for meetings.

I always carry extra paper work (non client of course) with me, so that way if I do arrive early, I can work away, be it in a cafe or in the car. It's a great way of getting more work done without increasing hours or stress.

I've actually turned down work, because of the commute involved, so when considering a new job always look at this issue.
Talking to a few very tired clients, this week,who spend up to two hours travelling each way daily, the impact on their quality of life is obvious.

So before you commit to a new job try travelling to the proposed new location at peak times if you're unfamiliar with the area.
