&gt; Personally I&#x27;d find it incredibly lonely to work from home.<p>Honest question: Why? Please be detailed. I could explain all the things that keep my home work from feeling lonely, but it&#x27;ll be easier for me to stick to things relevant to you if i know exactly what is on your mind.<p>&gt; Of course I have a five minute commute.<p>Five minutes from exactly where to where? Living room sofa in normal clothes to office desk with computer switched on and work software running? The exit of your apartment complex to the external door of your office building?<p>I&#x27;m sure you&#x27;re being a little ... optimistic about your timing there.<p>&gt; Of course I have a five minute commute.<p>You&#x27;re suggesting people move from a place where they may be near the things they enjoy in their life, to work. That is not an improvement, that just shifts the pain from one end to the other.
