True story:

I started working from home following a heart attack and open heart surgery at the end of 2018. 2019 was one complication after another, but I was finally cleared to return to the office in 2020 - just in time to go back home for covid.

This month is 5 years WFH. I drive 1 day a week for groceries, prescriptions, and comic books.

After doing it for 3 years, I had saved enough money to buy a house. Got that sweet 3.25% interest rate too!

So, yeah, bad for commercial real estate, for me it was pretty good for residential real estate. ;)

I drive 1 day a week for groceries, prescriptions, and comic books.

I mean you have to pick up necessities.

Also, groceries and prescriptions.

I've been fully wfh since 2015. I do miss the social interactions but I'm much more productive at home.

I don't, but then I'm antisocial. ;)

And yeah, you do get more done when you aren't pulled into meetings that could have been emails.

And even if you do get pulled into a meeting that should be an email, you can multitask on the Zoom call

The best is when you multitask during a meeting and put two hours down on the ol time sheet because if I have to even listen to you then I'm working on that thing as well.

I would love to miss the social interactions. I am out on FMLA after being obviously sick for months. Did one single person at the office other than my boss even say "get well soon?" Fuck them.
