I just find the monotony of showing up at 9 daily, leaving at 6, sitting through 40 min of traffic, getting home just in time to throw dinner together, get the kids bathed and in bed, boring and EXHAUSTING. And for what?! It's fucking 2015. Who works in an office like this anymore. There isn't anything I couldn't do from home.

Why is it that you can't work from home?

NP here This is a really interesting thread. I also left a job that allowed telework to one that allowed none. I don't think I realized, until others articulated it here, how much I needed that break from the commute etc. etc. I question now if the trade-offs were worth it.
