Slight tangent: For some reason, it seems like everyone I know who has worked from home ends up making Maury part of their schedule. What is it with geeks and baby daddy drama?
For whatever it's worth, my working from home schedule was almost exactly the same as yours - Maury included.
I also feel like I am far more productive when working from home. Partially due to the lack of interruptions as well as the fact that my home office has been built specifically for the the exercise of writing software.

So you get to know them very well by how they react to the news. They are real life stories, no one knows what is inside the envelope and we are all in it together wondering what it will say. It allows us to experiment with our human reading skills. Do the individuals know themselves as well as we know them. Is she honest when she says it could /only/ be him? Is he honest when he says he knows it isn't him. The amount of shock at the result is illustrative of the idea that the world around us can be exactly the opposite of what we believe it to be -- or want it to be.
