Re:Travelling to work 'is work', European court rules

The ruling only applies to workers who are being sent to appointments, rather than working from a fixed office. E.g. sales reps, care workers. From the article:
"Time spent travelling to and from first and last appointments by workers without a fixed office should be regarded as working time, the European Court of Justice has ruled."
This seems fair to me. I know people who are regularly leaving home at 5am to make their first appointment at 9am just so their employer can avoid paying them overtime.

Or maybe those over 28 are willing to pay more, and this is a move to maximize revenue.

1 TB Time Capsule for my most regular main backup (2 mac laptops)
iCloud backup for iPhone and iPad (upgraded storage)
Arq backup direct to s3 for really important stuff like photos (http://www.haystacksoftware.com/arq/). I have about 200GB on reduced redundancy storage.
