What I love most about my office is that it is mine. Meaning I rent it directly. Not provided by an employer. Since it's mine I have a lot of freedom as to what to put in it, what activities occur in it, and when to go there and how long to stay. No more corporate bullshit or bureaucracy. The commute time is 10 minutes. If the weather is bad or I just don't feel like going there, I don't. I have a door I can close and lock, with windows and blinds closed. It's quiet. I can go many hours without interruptions or watercooler chitchat and get zero drive-by management. My utilities are free. I have a huge LEGO TIE Fighter in it. A comfy leather chair and footrest I can veg or take naps in, as needed. Lots of table space and potential whiteboard space. Since it's not tied to a single external business I can use it for multiple different projects or businesses, as desired, or even personal projects not officially related to "work". In fact it allows me to blur the lines between work and non-work as much as I want. Well, within reasonable limits. It ain't perfect but it's closer to it than anything I've had previously.
