You should try being at home and not having to work. It's much more satisfying.

You sound like one of them "nonessentials"...

Copping a feel on the wife
I've long felt that every workplace would be so much better with a little bit of well-appreciated sexual harrassment.

Am I the only one who's surprised by how enjoyable working from home actually is?
Let's review the con's:
kids are home.
or
kids aren't home, so you end up watching porn all day.

The no commute has easily been the best part. I haven’t put gas in the car in over 2 weeks. And just being home to do meal prep, laundry, dog walks, etc., has been great. Can only imagine how great it’d be if the damn kids weren’t here to pester me.

I had to work from home five weeks last year after my disc replacement surgery. I was going bonkers by week three.
This week is week three for me again. I can feel the crazy coming....
Ideal for me would be two days in the office, three at home.
I'm closing in on a month of this and it's wearing on me a little too.
I could do a day or two per week with no problems.
I also have a 4 mile commute to the office so it's not like I spend much time or gas going anyway.

frick that. Don't get me wrong, I get to travel for work on occasion and I enjoy the change of pace that brings, but there's no fricking way that I'd rather be in an office every day. It would take a substantial raise (probably 40%) for me to even consider taking a job that requires me to work from an office.
same for me.
I interviewed for a job in NC a few years ago at my companies headquarters. Was sitting in my future office, overlooking a beautiful wooded area with walking trail around the huge lake the HQ sat on, very secluded and peaceful area.
Then i hear some dipshit on a call talking too loud, and then i see a few people walking over to Gary's cubicle with a birthday cake and they sing him happy birthday, and i decided right then and there this shite ain't for me.
Working in an office is like being on facebook in real life.

Been working from home since starting a new job in 2018. Under normal circumstances, its just me and the dog here as wife works and kids are at parents/sitter. Also I would be getting out 3 days a week for “field” work.
There’s no way I could go back to working in an office.

Cons:
Sitting on the toilet playing around on TD for 20 minutes at a time just isn’t the same.
I mean, it still gets done. It’s just not the same.

That afternoon nap will definitely have to be negotiated in the next contract.

number 1 should be
NOT having to deal with people in person.
too much drama in the world

7. Saving money by not buying gas to drive to work
Definitely fits my situation.
I used to fill up 2-3 times every two weeks.
This past time I was still 1/2 tank when I bought (in order to get cheap gas while I still could).

Likewise. During normal times it's about seven to ten minutes from my driveway to the parking garage. Right now? Less than five minutes.
Was going to go in tomorrow, but apparently our floor is still shut down because another person tested positive for the 'Rona.

I've been working remote for the last 15 years or so and I wouldn't have it any other way.
I enjoy the freedom to make my own schedule (within certain limitations of course) and most of the reasons you have listed.
Being in an office 8-5 would not mesh with my mental health.

A clean non public bathroom is probably the biggest one.

Okay, done. I've been working from home for 8 of the 10 years that I've been out of college.
So working in an office might be a bit foreign feeling to you. I'm the opposite though. I've been working in an office for 20+ years so being home all day feels foreign to me.
The one benefit to me is that it opens up opportunities to live wherever you want. When my kid is out of the house in 6-7 years, I'd love to move to some little mountain town of 30k where I'd probably have to work remotely since my job mainly exists in medium/large cities.

Yeah, an office environment is not for me. I don’t need a birthday cake, Christmas gift, thanksgiving potluck, or any of those bullshite office “moral boosters”. Don’t get me wrong, I’m nice and cordial to everyone, but I have no desire to force personal relationships with “random” people just because we work together. Work isn’t my life, it’s just something that I do so that I can afford to live my life. I feel like that gets lost on some people who end up working 10+ hour days (on top of the 1-2 hours of getting ready for work/commute), and start having their life revolve around work.
