Long Commute

"I'm going to work... I'm at work!"

Source: This is what I yelled to my wife a few minutes ago. You can do that kind of thing when you telecommute.

Explanation: You see, I was going to work. Then I got there. It didn't take very long. Therein lies the humor.

Special Blog Bonus: Not funny enough? How about this LEGO scene depicting the death of Jar Jar Binks?

Commuting?

Oddly, I'm working from home and yet my commute was much longer than usual this morning.

Explanation: To make our afternoon scheduling easier, I drove my wife to work this morning. I understand that most people do this sort of thing every day, but I am not most people. Furthermore, if I do have to leave the house first thing in the morning, I would prefer that it wasn't during the coldest spell we've had all winter. Anyway, I am now back at home, but a bit more cold and confused than normal.

Thank You, Stephen Hawking!

Telecommuting advantage #27: The mute button. When the robotic voice on your laptop announces a new email, nobody else in your meeting can hear it.

Explanation: While happy that I was in the room instead of on the phone, it appears the folks at my weekly status meeting did not want to know about the email I got during the meeting. This actually might be more embarassing than a cell phone going off. Of course, the Stephen Hawking voice that NotesBuddy uses is pretty sweet.

Special Blog Bonus: Again, I refer you to look up MC Hawking online. I should also note that the link I have provided is for Google Music Search, which I've never seen before. Check it out!

Telecommuting advantage #36: You never leave your laptop at home and realize it after driving 20 minutes to work.

Explanation: Self-explanatory. It's a bad way to start your day.
