So I’m eating my bagel, sipping my coffee, reading the Boston Business Journal this morning and minding my own business.
When suddenly, I come upon page 10 of the July 11th edition and spot this headline: “Commuter railing: Travel time rankles most readers.” Apparently, the folks at the BBJ asked their readers to answer the following question:
“Which work-related thing would you like the most independence from?” Here are the top five answers, in descending order of frequency:
My commute — 35%
My 9-5 schedule — 34%
My boss — 17%
My co-workers — 9%
My office dress code — 5%
And as I sat there at 10am, in shorts and a T-shirt, 1 mile from my home and 1.5 miles from my office, with not a boss or co-worker in sight, I realized that as a solo professional, once more, we’ve got it made.
An excellent suggestion Shaun!
Hehe, yes, it’s incredibly great. The most important concept for me is simply taking the afternoon nap. Just cause I can. =)
