No “work clothes” (I wear a tee and gym shorts 90% of my life), no commute, no traffic, no packing lunches or buying breakfast, no nonsense. Log in, work my 8 and then walk downstairs. Easy peasy, lemon squeezey. this reminds me of the time when several NFL talking heads were trying to convince Jimmy Johnson to return to coaching in the NFL He told them:" I wore shoes twice last year (a wedding and a funeral)What can you offer me that's better than that ? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT---if you have a longer commute, that time you're saving is friggin priceless! Wear and tear -- honestly, I'm a leaser for life, so I don't worry too much about that part; different subject all together ha 15 minutes each way = 30 minutes each day = 2.5 hours each week = 130 hours each year = (lets say 8 holidays and 15 PTO days) 119.5 hours each year you're doing nothing but traveling to & from work. Essentially 15 additional "work days" spent just driving. And thats just a 15 minute commute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanedorf Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 My commute is 13 stairs and then 3 steps out the door. My home office is attached to our house, but you have to go outside to reach it That level of separation is required when you have kids/dogs at home and it's kinda psychological as well. I know I'm "going" to work and its a dedicated space for tax purposes. I've worked from home for 20+ years, I can't imagine going into an office - my colleagues in the office tell me I wouldn't make it past lunch on the first day The other immense benefit of WFH is that I was always here when the kids came home from school, and they would stop in my office and give me the daily update. Those are some of the most cherished moments for me, moments I wouldn't have gotten if I was commuting or at an office. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I'm "going" to work and its a dedicated space for tax purposes. I have an office, but the idea of a completely separate area would be nice. Like you said, the psychological separation of work and home. 10 minutes ago, Shanedorf said: I've worked from home for 20+ years, I can't imagine going into an office - my colleagues in the office tell me I wouldn't make it past lunch on the first day 5 years in and I’d be toast. 10 minutes ago, Shanedorf said: The other immense benefit of WFH is that I was always here when the kids came home from school, and they would stop in my office and give me the daily update.

twslhs20 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 They are letting us take a for credit option on any classes we choose if our midterm grades are passing. PChem can eat it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyers0909 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 I'd love the option to WFH 4 days a week and go into the office once a week or something similar once we get through this. I like my work enough that one day a week to at least get that interaction would be nice, but the amount of money we're saving by both working from home is pretty substantial. Between gas, eating out, and our dog walker we're saving close to $200 a week. An extra $10,000 a year sure would help my school loans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
