as an artist one of my key job responsibilities is starving and that's kind of hard to do if i'm in the office getting paid 40 hours a week, you know?

AHH F/UGH: May 25, 2002

Got the word tonight that we're going permanent remote.

This is unironically probably the best single piece of news about anything I've had in the past 4 years when I started my current job. I feel like I have retired at 35, or like I've gotten out of Shawshank, I think it is the excitement only a free man can feel.

gently caress you forever, office. I will not be going back, ever.

numberoneposter: Feb 19, 2014; How much do I cum? The answer might surprise you!

It takes almost as long to put my gear on than it does to ride my motorcycle to work. I'm fully winning or I should just walk. But my brain likes brap brap zoom zoom simple brain. I used to ride my bicycle, when it gets nicer I'll probably do it again. Oddly it's better to ride the moto in poo poo weather I think.

Any job that can be done fully remote and doesn't offer it as an option is explicitly on the wrong side of history.

I love being able to take a break, go play some video games, watch a movie, take a shower, do chores, whatever. It's amazing for my creativity and patience.

A Fancy Hat: Nov 18, 2016; Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin

Worked in the office yesterday - had a 50 minute commute, then spent half the day trying to chase down the people I was there to talk to, and had to poop in a bathroom that already smelled like poop.

Working from home today, it's not even 8 am and I'm further along with work than I was by noon yesterday. Plus I can poop in my own bathroom that smells slightly less like poop.

NC Wyeth Death Cult: Dec 30, 2005; He lost his life in Chadds Ford, he was dancing with a train.

I do building maintenance and it was cool as hell when everyone stayed home. For that first year, we had to do inspections of tenant suites and it was like their offices were frozen in time- cups left half full, stuff left out- the full abandoned building/ghost ship deal. It's been great and we're all pretty blase about the pandemic thing so we're not looking forward to dealing with people who have been at home getting freaked out about it (it's not all of the cube dwellers but there are germaphobes in every office who are really going to put us to task).

It's still startling to be bopping along and walk into a nest of office workers doing their thing. At least they are letting us in now- previously we were warded away with passive-aggressive signs and doom and gloom predictions of our fate should the unvaccinated tread past the lintel.

Work has more monitors and a cafeteria and people I like talking to. Sorry your job sucks so much poo poo you can�t imagine being there but that�s not everyone�s experience hth

Oh wow two monitors? What could adding a monitor in your home cost? Upwards of $130 dollars?

And your home has a cafeteria, it's called your kitchen. and a salad doesn't cost $13 there.

Ginette Reno: Nov 18, 2006; How Doers get more done; Fun Shoe

Work from home rules and I'll never get an office job again if I can avoid it. The additional time I get from not having to commute is time I can use cooking and working out instead. I can also eat lunch at home instead of having to pack myself a lunch or eat garbage. So I'm healthier in so many ways than I would be if I had to commute.

For the few people I like at work I can just have lunch or a beer or whatever with them on occasion and that suits me fine and feels like just enough social contact.

I can also gently caress off whenever I want if I'm done with my work for the day instead of having to sit there and pretend to be busy.

I honestly do not at all understand people that want to be in an office. The only way that makes sense to me is if they hate their family/kids and just need to get away for a while. That at least makes sense to me. I have colleagues who are like that. But otherwise? Why would you do that to yourself willingly

working from home means i can be on my PC by 7 am and done with the 90 minutes of work i need to do that day by 9 in the morning instead of finishing early at the office and trying to look busy for the next six hours

if you need 8 hours a day to do your white collar job you're probably doing it wrong

I can't work from home because I have stupid co-workers that become even more stupid if they work from home.
