Telecommute: Virtual Bus Ride

29. October 2008 by admin.

Well, today is Wednesday.  By the time I arrived home last night, I have already spent 3.5 hours commute to work just this week.  Please remember that the total distance I have travelled to and from work is 20 miles in 3.5 hours.  I recently completed the Detroit Marathon and my 20 mile time was slightly more than 3 hours.  Something is definately wrong with this picture, the work commute that is!  Why is it that the country that prides itself on democracy is so slow in allowing it’s own citizen’s and those with appropriate paper work to re-enter?  I have travelled all across North America and Europe.  I have never been delayed like I am on the American side of the Detroit/Windsor border.  Unlike a vice-presidential candidate, I have held a passport for nearly 30 years.  Plus, my house overlooks Detroit and my office faces South towards Windsor.  I guess I have presidential potential with my foreign policy credentials.  But that’s another story!

So to my fellow Tunnel Bus passengers, today, I was with you virtually.  I hope I didn’t miss any good stories to share but with all of the talk cookies, cake and Italian sausages last night on the way home, I was sure hungry.  Too bad my friend, who likes to cook gourmet meals, wasn’t on the bus.  I probably would not have been able to settle for the leftovers we served for dinner.
