I spent 2.5 hours in traffic yesterday, trying to get back home from a meeting. And I am one of the lucky ones, as my office is only half an hour from my home and I usually set up my meetings in the middle of the day, so spending time is traffic is not a big problem.

What is it really like to work from home? Yes, it's a real thing. Here are 6 uncommon lessons from a year of working from home.
