Working from home

Never heard of the concept before until I came to England. The English are a strange lot you know. They don't work 'till late, most of them have re-arranged their body clocks according to the wall clocks at work. Yet, they do work hard, I mean very hard. Sometimes they work from home. I know it's not a novel thing, but for shysly, it was quite an unusual but a very useful thing. He got his weekly marketing done, went to the bank, took the car for a service and then logged onto his laptop at around 5pm to check his emails. For him, that was working from home, in true lankan style. The Germans once invented a ticketing machine for buses which was fool proof. But a Srilankan managed to break into it and misuse it so that instead of ten printed tickets, it gave out one. The wrong tools in the wrong hands can have a devastating effect.
