I'm thankful that I'm able to do it occasionally when I need to be home for a contractor or something, or home with the kids for some reason, but I hate it too much to do long term.
I don't have a nice, separate office set up, which would help, and I have young kids, which is tough. But I enjoy being at work and being able to walk down and talk to people and stay somewhat focused. I also feel even worse than usual when I have a few minutes of downtime and I'm screwing around on the internet.
