> go for a 2 hour drive on your own every day if you miss that commute I have a fifteen minute commute door to door. Up until a couple years ago it was a five minute commute. People's work situations are different. Just because you don't enjoy going to the office doesn't mean everyone feels the same. I've been able to come to the office still through all of this and it's been a godsend. I have a wife and three young kids at home. Being around and trying to work is just an exercise in frustration for everyone.

I don't think anyone is arguing against you being able to go to the office. Just don't expect me to come and keep you company.

  Shoot. Was really hoping to have some company here :) To clarify, I've been the only person coming in to the office. The other four people I work with have been staying home. Just figured someone might as well use the space. The kids have been coming here every day for lunch as a way to get them out of the house as well.

Yea, you can't generalize. Different people are different. Some people are able to work from their quiet home office and have never been more productive and happy. Others have 4 year olds with no energy relief valve, bouncing all over their living rooms which double as workspaces. Some people are naturally solitary and find stay-at-home a great break from the enforced socialization that comes with working at an office. Some people are extroverts and are going absolutely bananas every day that goes by where they don't see another human being. Personally, I'm more productive now, but only because I'm not wasting 4+ hours each day on my commute. If my commute was under 30 minutes each way or less, I probably would prefer to be in the office so that I could actually see and socialize with people.
