I've long thought it illogical that people slave away in wretched conditions for 8 hours per day, bookended by long commutes, in order to afford a nice home that they don't actually spend many daylight hours in. Sometimes, a non-working spouse and children get to enjoy the home, but in the more normal two-income or single-parent family, even that is not the case.
- Hamuko 6y agoEh. I have all of my blinds closed 24/7 anyways. My home is mostly about being my space, not being some kind of a lightbox.
- derefr 6y agoIt’s the air, not the light. It’s very hard to get the same O2 saturation in an office that you can in an apartment—especially one you’re alone in.
- WWLink 6y agoAh yes, and at home I am not obligated to use the company desk/chair that everyone else has, so I have a more comfortable setup. Plus I get to pick the temperature, and I can use my speakers instead of wearing headphones. I can take my own mouse/keyboard to the office, but I'm sure someday that will be forbidden in the name of information security. Sigh. Still, my home office is a lot more comfy! Plus I can open the windows!
