as a father i will just do the arithmetic in public, my commute in mexico city is 90 minutes each way when the traffic is kind, that is three hours a day, fifteen hours a week, and my son plays his last year of school football this year, i have seen maybe half his games in his whole life and this season i have seen all of them because tuesdays and thursdays i work from home, my boss lost nothing, the spreadsheet does not know where i am, but my son knows where i am, that is the whole argument for me, everything else in this thread is commentary
