I miss working in the office. I miss the comradery, the social aspect, cracking jokes, special lunches, walk stretch breaks, etc. I think work for a lot of people is a fun social time, even though they are working. I feel like working at home I have less fun and actually work more.

I've been at places where it felt like a fun social time, and places where it hasn't felt that way. I do miss being in the office sometimes at places where it has all those positives you mentioned. When the in-office environment doesn't seem to offer those things to me though, remote work seems more desirable.

Me, too, though it seems to me to have disappeared sometime in 2016.

I miss that, too. I don't miss the meetings and the noise, though.

I don't live alone. If I did, I would miss those things much more desperately.

Yeah some of my coworkers I feel terrible for. Stuck inside, single, and furloughed. I wonder what health negative health effects we are going to see in the future from so many people being stuck inside.

My wife works at a drug rehab and they are starting to see an uptick in new patients.
