One way to save on gas is to telecommute and DC is the best city to do it in. Forbes has recently put out a report that says DC residents are at the top of the list to be able to reduce there gas bills! The Biggest gas saver would be to telecommute and Forbes said that the Government should start allowing employees to do so.

With Gas prices on the rise and expected to make a 5-10 cent jump in the next week or two, more and more employees are going to be trying to make this jump. Here at the Library I only know of one or two employees that are telecommuting. Sometimes I wonder how effective it really is? So let’s have a poll, How many in your office are telecommuting?

Here is an article on how to get you boss to buy into telecommuting.

Over on Justin’s blog he recommended two sites that he has been reading and one is the new coffee shop that will be coming where the Murky Coffee once was in Capitol Hill.  Can’t wait for this to come to the hill and will keep you all up to date on an opening date.

This is one reason why I don’t let the Colonial Parking valet my car!  I happened to notice this sign in our garage this morning.  This is going to be one angry hotel guest when he wakes up in the morning.  The best part is that they left a note on the car saying…sorry we misjudged!

Here is the car.  Does the attendant have only 1 eye ball? Did they really think they would be able to lift the van and put another car under it?

I hope everyone enjoyed there Fourth of July. The rain was minimal and the Mall was packed.  Jen, her family and I did the tourist stuff (Spy Museum, Parade, White House, Arlington Cemetery) then watched the capitol concert from our 50inch HD TV (we saw the dress rehearsal on the 3rd) then went to the roof to get a good view of the fireworks.

Happy Fourth of July!  

Here is a little Huey Lewis and the News at yesterday’s dress rehearsal on the Capitol Lawn.

My boss always told me not to start any work until it was approved. I guess the DC School District thinks different. They started work on 14 schools to get them ready for new students that will be attending from other schools that were closed. However, the work had not been approved yet and a stop work order has been issued. Wonder if it will ever be approved?
