The comforts of 'home'

I was advised last week that I can spend every other Friday in my New Brunswick office (a.k.a real office). I was glad when I heard it, but it made me think. If I can do the work that needs to be done from home and from my REAL office, then why do I ever have to be in the Newark office? That is a question no one seems to have an answer to. However the reason for this post is not to bitch about how much I hate my job, it is to tell you how NICE it was to work from my REAL office today. I had a great ride in, I made it in early and NO TURNPIKE! I got to see my friends, Kristen, Judy, Bill, Scott and Corey. I had a real lunch hour - we went to Antonia's for Bill's birthday. Most of all, I used my own computer, sat at my own seat, had privacy in my own cube and answered my own phone. Oh and I almost forgot, I used a clean bathroom and did not have to worry about who was in the hallway! I miss New Brunswick!
