I worked at home on Friday - something I did every day for 3 years until about a month ago.

I am used to working at home, and Friday started no different than a usual work at home day - I went to my home office, set things up for my new Mac, and went to work.  I had two conference calls in the morning so the morning went quickly.  At about 11am I had an idea that I needed to talk to someone about.  But I was at home.

At about 12:30 I wanted to go grab someone to go to lunch with me - but I was at home.

Suddenly I realized that I missed not being in the office.  That was surprising, considering how much I loved working at home.

I’ll still work at home now and then - because there are just some things I can’t do at the office (generally anything that involves a contiguous amount of concentration time).  But I do enjoy the immediacy of the office.

I just didn’t think I would ever miss it :)
