    Working in an office for 8 hours a day costs me an additional hour getting ready and commuting to to work, an hour away from home for lunch, an hour commuting back home and unwinding after work, turning 8 hours of paid labor into 11 hours of doing shit for other people.

    Working at home claws back 15 hours a week.

      As well as 15-20 more hours that you don’t really work while at the office, and you have to actively disguise as work-related activity. Add that to your prep time, and you’ve clawed back 30+ hours of time.

      You could get that second job you need to survive!

      It’s also how I got into a head on collision when some oblivious guy who pulled out in a left turn with oncoming headlights (me) driving straight in the lane. Close to home like most crashes are statistically, had I not been made to drive down to the office building then the rental car and repairs would never have been needed. There are costs everywhere that can be factored into this.
