    Easiest journey of the week

    If I had still been a permie it would have been WFH though.

    I had to be on clientco site in London this morning. All part of the job.

    Left to come home 2 pm, just before the railways started to melt down.

    Or whatever the snowy equivalent is.

    So, rather than announcing on Thu that everyone should WFH, instead, everyone spunked out cash on transport costs to get into clientco, do 1 hours work and then risk the roads to go back home, ensuring the clientco did no business for a day.

    And one person wasted one day's annual leave.

    Dontcha just love these dinosaur *******?

    Lucky that - there's no way my car would have even made it up the hill to leave my street.
