If you work from home, you may go several days without speaking to another human being, but there are also disadvantages.
@cmconseils that's what family is for

@vsharma2430 @cmconseils

And dogs!

We have dogs at home!

(I just finished feeding them, right before posting this message. I get *a lot of love* from them ... when doing that! 💕 )

@cmconseils my wife gets really upset about that
@cmconseils I've worked from home for a while, and out in the market I realized no one has any idea who am I ?

@cmconseils
A more indirect benefit is that working from home allows relocating to a place where you can go several days without even seeing another human being.

Just the birds and the occasional squirrel and rabbit. Except in the summer, there's also the mosquitos and the summer people. 😄

@cmconseils It is certainly true some of us are really picky about human interaction.
@cmconseils i fee like i would forgot how to work with people if i wfh long enough

@cmconseils

A bunch have joined Bluesky, obviously…

They can have it.

@cmconseils Avoid dealing with other work colleagues by spending all day in the toilet.
@cmconseils Laughed louder at this than was likely appropriate.
@cmconseils I lost my voice once and only noticed after 3 days

@cmconseils

I've done this and my throat stopped working when my nephew called. I had to drink some water before I could talk.

Now I listen to music while I work and sing along. That seems to have fixed that problem.

@csstrowbridge @cmconseils This seems to be the right thing to do...
@csstrowbridge @cmconseils I stayed at a monastery once for a few days and that happened
@cmconseils I work from home, what are the disadvantages? Still haven’t found any.
@cmconseils you can't shop groceries on your way home, maybe?
@cmconseils Working from home since 2016 & it's both a blessing & a curse. Maintaining balance is a key I've yet to find. 

@cmconseils I work from home and rarely speak to anyone.

I actually like it that way though.

@cmconseils people are not the problem. The commute is the issue and we are the ones who have to pay for the commute and don’t even get me started on the traffic.

@cmconseils

I wish. Whether in the office or at home, my day is completely stacked with meetings and phone calls.

@cmconseils I could try that, but my wife might get annoyed with me. Lol!
@cmconseils The disadvantage is not sitting in traffic :x
@cmconseils introverts of the world unite! In separate places! And not on zoom!
@cmconseils my voice was like a misfiring engine when I finally used it again. I honestly would do vocal warm-ups before entering a pub.

@cmconseils

You mean:

If you work from home there can be several days where you meet a lot of people while not wearing any pants.

@cmconseils I can’t help but notice that you didn’t name one.
@cmconseils not if it is isp tech support ;D
