I got excited to learn about some novel aspect of working from home that I, as a remote worker for 2+ years now, might be able to incorporate into my life. I cannot overemphasize how little I identify with anything written in this article. This guy's life experience is completely non-intersecting with my own. It's possible what keeps me from feeling isolated is the fact that I've grown up on the (slightly more modern) Internet, and am able to draw energy from being in a chatroom/conference call with my coworkers in the same way I am when there in person. So many afternoons/nights/weekends forging friendships in the dark recesses of IRC/B.net/AIM/Ventrilo/Discord made me comfortable enough with the mediums that I know how to manage remote relationships as well as I manage in-person ones.
