Things that annoy me about working in the office: 1. Commuting. This is a life-suck and no amount of great furniture and food makes up for sitting in traffic for 2 hours a day. 2. Meetings. When you're in the office, there's just no escaping the "Do you have a minute?" conversations. I've had weeks were I had to work 12 hour days because I was in scheduled and unscheduled meetings for 8 hours, leaving me 4 hours to work on deliverables. 3. Shitty people. There's just some people in the office that you just don't want to talk to or see if you can avoid them. Things I like about NOT working in the office: 1. Picking up my kid from school. I pick her up and we talk on the way home one-on-one and we learn and understand more about each other. NOTHING you can give in the office will replace that. 2. Taking breaks. Lean back, stare off into the distance, have a cup of coffee without someone commenting, "Working hard or hardly working? chuckle" 3. Not working at home. Sometimes it's nice to sit al fresco at a cafe and reply emails while enjoying a beverage. Again, no amount of snacks, coffee, feng shui aligned furniture can make up for these points.
