I work from home in two-week intervals. It is absolutely amazing. When I do go in the office, coworkers are hugging me, lounging near my cube and I have to turn down lunch dates. I am very friendly and an extrovert. The office becomes an overload for me and I can't get any work done.

When I work from home, I am a productive beast. So focused, clear, quiet and cuts my workload in half.

I think monthly office retreats would work for me, but day in commuting, office chatter, cubicles and flourescent lights just do not work for me and I hope to never return to a regular 9-5 schedule.
