When my boss told me this, I expressed how relieved I was. Then he said “you'd be a lot happier if you worked in the office. I'd go crazy at home all the time. You can practice being happy when you're here!”
And would you believe it, wow, that's all it took. My major depression has been healed! I also learned to hate my carefully-curated, introvert lifestyle and made the 40 minutes commute to sit in a cubicle to listen to music on headphones and type on the same laptop I use at home! I smiled through the depression and just breathed when I had a panic attack! Healed!!!
I hate these people that think working is supposed to be something that you enjoy and live to do.
Pretty sure we all just work because they pay us.
I sure do.
