WFH is awesome.

Can take breaks from work to drop off/pick up kid from school. Saving like 15% of my paycheque that would go to daycare otherwise.

Car insurance is cheaper, because no matter how much I drive I'm not commuting to work so the insurance company counts me as "occasional driver".

I can loudly and violently swear at bullshit emails.

I can listen to my own music on speakers while working.

Minor cons though:

I'm getting weirder due to the lack of minor social interactions that otherwise I'd get on the bus, sidewalk, office, cafe, so on.

Some cabin fever from being in the same space all day. I live in an apartment so I don't have a separate room for my work computer. Turn off work computer, turn on personal computer, and it's the same screens while I sit in the same chair. On the other hand this does motivate me to get outside after work to exercise or do errands.
