The loneliness of a home office - and everything in the article would be equally true
- altmanaltman 7mo agoYeah, how could anyone forget Woolf's legendary sequel "A House Office of One's Own"
- justonceokay 7mo agoI thought my coworkers were insane during covid, living in their home offices and moving to the outer suburbs. My bosses office was literally his bedroom closet, and he would go entire days without seeing light.^ Maybe taking prescribed speed every day helped with the loneliness. When covid hit I moved into a house with 5 other people and got a job working at a factory. I realized the only person who would get me the social time I require is me. ^ I know this because it snowed 6 inches in Seattle and he was unaware until the next day

- justonceokay 7mo agoCompletely understood. Im an electrician now, Covid made me realize how much more social I was than my coworkers
