One of my friends said similar things about working from home. It seemed like a dream come true at first, but after a while he missed getting out into the world and seeing people at the office. Eventually he changed jobs and returned to that environment. I like the opportunity to work from home if I want or need to do it, but I also enjoy the office (and any movie or TV series containing the word “Office”).

There have been some great Dilbert cartoons about the small businessman (in that case, literally a SMALL businessman) being pushed around by the corporation. I guess you’ve experienced that. Maybe when you rejoin the corporate world, you’ll find that your perspective as an employee has changed. You’ll see management, co-workers, and vendors in a new light.

Here’s hoping for great things!
