I work from home for about 75% of my work. Today, I have to drive somewhere this morning, and then again somewhere this evening. I will spend in the realm of 2.5-3 hours in the car today. I do not get paid for travel. I will not be able to get in my daily run today. I probably won't see my kids after I drop them at school. I'll get home around 11pm tonight.

So yeah, I love wfh. But for the case of my job tonight, it's very good money, and not the perfect use case for remote (although certainly doable considering we did for years), and so I eat it, it's whatever. I generally have 7 or so jobs a month that I need to travel. Twice the commute is about 40m each way. The other five are 5-15m commutes so they're fine.
