I can't imagine wanting to go into the office on the regular. The commute. The lost time (can math out to like a 20% pay cut, if you spend two hours a day traveling + getting ready). The sickness. The lack of control over environment (temperature, sound).

Can't relate to it. And I'm a very social person that likes interacting with people.

I live 15 minutes from work. If I got out of bed early enough I could easily bike there (and have done so).

Really the only thing I miss from work from home is the ability to take a short break once per hour to do some bodyweight exercises or kettbell swings during lunch.

But on the flipside, it's hard for me to stay concentrated while at home. I personally get way more work done in the office.
