    Less hearing someone noisily inhaling food like a demented, starved pig with an asthma attack and a megaphone rammed down its gullet.
    If you think my attitude stinks, you should smell my fingers.

      Dual screen setup: watching videos/telly on one while 'working' on the other

        Dressing gown, youporn, crunchy nut cornflakes. Yet somehow i'll still get more done in the hour I feel (ever so slightly) guilty than I maange in a day at the office.

        Did they really think open plan was a good idea?
        While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

          Exactly. To compensate, I only work one hour-a-day when WFH.

            Yes.

            And: Music , always being around for deliveries, no additional cost for dog-walker/dog-sitter (but sharing room with farty dogs all day), preparing dinner/running errands in lunchbreak, no formal clothing (or in fact no need for any clothing).

            Like most people, I'm a hell of a lot more efficient without interruptions from colleagues.

                    I only do one day per fortnight in the office (most of the team is also remote). It's gotten to the point where I get excited about going there.

                      Current gig was originally agreed to WFH (they want me but I have no car) but a day or so on-site as they weren't convinced WFH would work.
                      I can't remember the last time I was on-site, I'm going ion next week but only because a company I'm interested in for my plan B happens to be in the same business park.
