Safe at Home

I was at home searching for court records on the Internet when fear struck New York over the mysterious gas that enveloped Manhattan.

Some offices and establishments sent their employees home early. Unfortunately, many weren’t able to take advantage of their early dismissal since the city government has also temporarily suspended the subway services.

My boss was unperturbed and refused to heed the suggestion of some of my officemates to cancel the afternoon meeting. He averted a backlash when it was announced that the odor permeating around the city wasn’t lethal.

One of the things that I like about my job is that it could be done anywhere as long as there’s an Internet access. Information Technology is fast changing the way people work. Gone are the days when company databases mean endless rows of file cabinets. Time will come when going o the office would simply mean going to your living room.
