Its not easy. The things that help here are the winter snowfalls, the quality of our transit system, and the cost of parking. For some reason its the norm for most employers in Ottawa to charge for parking. I know some people who pay over $150CAD a month to park at work.
It also helps to be smug.
What, you had a hard time getting here? I left a few minutes early and got here just fine! My conversion rate has dropped now that my commute involves falling out of bed and turning my computer on.
