Does this mean "I'll be at work" or "I'll be on the way to work"?

- By the time you read this memo, I will already have gone to work.

Thanks.

There can be two meanings for "gone to work."
1) be enroute.
2) have started working.
I think the sentence above is most likely to be 1).
An example of 2) is:
When I checked at his workstation I found that he had already gone to work on the assignment.
