... how many times do I need to return to the office?
... oh, so, repeatedly.
... what, like 5 times a week?
... that's a lot of returning to a place I never much liked.

Oh, and it’s one hour before I open the laptop and then another hour after I close it. For free. In my own car. While endangering my life and paying for gas. Oh and it’s at certain hours. What exactly is the benefit of this?
