Is anyone in this sub or instance a remote worker? I have been one first partially and then completely for a few years now and I began to think as a kinda of solarpunk way of live that has the potential to propel humanity to a more decentralized and sustainable way of life, specially since I plan to move to a smaller town because of it. What do guys feel about it? Do you do it? Don't do it but would like to? Do it it but miss interaction?

I've worked remotely since the first COVID shutdowns and eventually got the option to go full-time remote in mid-2021. Absolutely loving it.

No traffic, no parking, save lots of money on daily fast food, a tank of gas lasts me months, and generally have fewer distractions than at the office.

Most of my interactions with coworkers was through group chat, so nothing really changed much there. The only thing I'm really missing is the fitness center at the office and taking long walks on my breaks. I can do the latter at home, but I find myself just doing housework instead xD

I usually do housework during "toilet" breaks.

Now I'm curious to know how long are your breaks? XD
