I feel like I am one of the few who is actually loving the WFH, and am feeling better than ever. Most of my coworkers complain about feeling isolated and looking forward to returning to the office, and I don't feel like I can tell them that I much prefer the current situation.

With WFH, I now have enough flexibility to work whenever I want to, which allows me to indulge my night owl instincts without it affecting my work, and also allows me to nap whenever I need during the day.

I am already a major homebody, so staying home almost every day fits me very well. I don't have a great need to meet people face-to-face, so the fact that most meetings are voice only works very well for me as well. Social interactions at work always stresses me out a bit, as I feel like I have to put on a performance whenever it happens.

I am not looking forward to when COVID-19 is under control and the office opens, as my employer has made it clear that we are all expected to return to the office once it is safe. Not only do I have to put on a performance all day long, I lose the commute time and flexibility of work hours.
