I hate to be cliche, but social encounters and the mythical "hallway conversations" are what stop work from being groundhog day for me. Very little productivity happens on the computer, that's just the time to write up whatever solution I've spent my day working on away from said desk.

I used to eat with some colleagues every week despite them being in a different team. Now, I don't bother even dropping a private message. It sounds silly, written out, but it's also means of death of many of my adult friendships and acquantances. And if I had joined the company in this climate, I wouldn't know them at all.
