The submit node needs to be present to keep running jobs running - keep 
the claim on the remote resource alive. You can make the lease very 
long, such that the laptop is likely to come back, or more reliably you 
could do a -remote submit to an infrastructure schedd. You'd then use 
condor_transfer_data when the job is done.
