Yeah, it would be nice if there were more remote options, especially outside the area of web development, which never really got my interest. Federal employees here seem to get some leeway with regards to actually coming in versus working from home, which is encouraging, but contract employees are on a tighter leash (or straight up second class citizens, depending who you ask). But there are plenty of things we do that just couldn't be efficient remotely, since there's a lot of custom hardware and lab-testing involved. Btw, I'm not really complaining. Working on air traffic control systems is a pretty damn cool career, imo. It's fun to make a small stretch and answer, "What do you do?" with, "Oh, I just keep planes in the air."
