You never had a quick tug in the CleintCo bogs?

only when I am getting you a coffee

But you might get lonely, as demonstrated here

I'm about a month in. I've been doing what I always did when WFH'ing before: go to the pub every day at about 5pm just to be somewhere different and be around humans. Which isn't so good for my alcohol consumption, or social life in general as getting drunk late afternoon means I don't go out in the evening.

Listening to music and better coffee are definite plus points.

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.

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.

So true, so very true...!

Decent coffee

2 days office per week and 3 days wfh per week

A nice mix, I go a bit potty at home all week.

No people. I don't like people.

Less Alt-Tabbing

No M25...

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.

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.

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

Did they really think open plan was a good idea?

[Platypus]

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

Oh, and this of course

Less Alt-Tabbing

Less hearing someone noisily inhaling food like a demented, starved pig with an asthma attack and a megaphone rammed down its gullet.

Shagged in the office though

Doesn't count
