High gas prices are proving useful for those who want to work in their PJs. The Houston Business Journal recently reported that more than two-thirds of executives from the nation’s top companies allow employees to work off site.

After the jump, see our top reasons to work from home:
Sexual harassment never an issue. (Unless your spouse has a headache.)
YouTube, MySpace, FaceBook never blocked by IT Guy.

No more dealing with those jerks who don’t refill empty coffee pots!

You’ll finally have time to devote to your other job: cooking crystal meth.
Two words. Nap. Time.
Three more words: Houston. Rush. Hour.
