I've been working from home for 6 years and am currently looking for a job I can commute to. I am productive at home but I miss the camaraderie that an office setting provides. Human interaction is important to me and it took 6 years of working from home, feeling isolated, to figure that out.

I used to feel this way, until I realized that the real problem was my lack of a good social life outside of work. Once I took care of that (meetup.com is great) I stopped yearning for office camaraderie. In fact I find it a bit annoying now - everyone I work with has kids so that's all they talk about, whereas my social circle is full of people with similar interests as me.
