No one misses a commute. Ever. The "books on tape" and the "I like to think and decompress" people are either lying or in denial.I like having control over my workspace, especially in terms of ergonomics and comfort. I like having easy access to my fridge and snacks and food delivery. I like being home to be able to sign for packages or take them in as they're delivered. I do not miss the commute at all.
I have been working fully at home, although in a non-clinical service position for 5 years now. I simply cannot go back at this point! I take my kids to golf, football, and swim team. I do dishes and laundry. I can go to the driving range at 10 and/or help them practice their diving at the pool at 9,10,11. I go the market. I may wake up late. I may end my day early and go golfin at the club.
VA positions will not give you this degree of flexibility of course, but somethin is better than nothin!
