    I leave at 3 pm on office days to beat traffic. Everyone does that. What is this 5 pm thing he talks about? Must be America…

      I used to arrive promptly at 7am, and clock out at 3:30pm.

      The bus to the office was always empty.

      The bus home was always packed.

      Now I work from home
