The Washington Buisness Journal article, Despite snow, workers take no breaks, by Roger Hughlett (Jan. 30, 2004), adds evidence that attitudes towards telework are changing, at least when winter weather makes commuting even more difficult than usual.

"Life goes on," says Dave Christovich, vice president of business development at Alexandria-based Sentel (www.sentel.com), a software and consulting firm. "... You don't need your fanny in the seat to do your job."

The article also points out a number of jobs that just can't be done remotely. People with hands-on jobs may still need to make their way into work, but at least they face a much lighter traffic load when those that can work from home, do.
