Your idea was doubly great...save money and give some motivation. Sorry to hear it didn't work out...but it should have. Ben, gas prices or no gas prices, it’s a great idea to give some flexibility.

We support the gov't, and they already were getting Friday off every other week, so it wasn't like it would be out of line. They flatly refused the proposal. No explanation, no nothing, just a loud, "NO!" I worked with some of my fellow employees to push this option last year when gas prices were so high.

When I took the 5:41 train home I felt like I was on a private train car. Each of us had our own seat. Nice that people go home...I like working hard, but the calibration is right, too.

It should say 36 minutes to summer. We are closing at 2 p.m. today. A colleague and I talked about it earlier as such a benefit. It makes everyone feel like a grown up. Trusted to get the work of the day and the week and the quarter done but also the work of summer. Great post. As I write this, my PC clock says it’s 1:24. obviously that is wrong.
