I wish gas would rise to $4/$5 a gallon. Less cars on the road.
You know what would be great? If more companies would allow their employees to work from home. A lot of jobs do not actually require the person to be IN the office the entire day except for companies who like to heavily monitor your every move. Until that happens, you're going to see a lot of cars on the road.

My boss actually gave us the ok for this again with rising gas prices. I get to work with the birds singin on the patio

Not everyone works behind a desk on a computer. I drive a semi-tractor, I can't do that from home
Here in TX? Where in TX? I'm in TX and unleaded is at $2.55 ... it hasn't been 2.15 since 04/01.

Dude...seriously? SMH
You live in a fantasy world or something.
I respond to all these by pointing out that gas prices are not actually high. See analysis (link).

First off, how many companies give a damn what employees pay for gas, or anything else for that matter?
Second, how many companies believe employees are as productive when they are home wandering about in their PJs?
Third, how many employees are like yourself where your actual presence is required to get the job done?
Employers care because these kind of costs, when actually high, get cranked into what workers need to accept a job. I turn down court appearances at certain distances based upon gas costs and tolls.

Well, good for you for turning down jobs you aren't making any money at.
What does that have to do with employers letting people work from home because gas has gone up a quarter?
Anyway, why don't you just work from home and Skype in your court appearances?
Just kidding.
