This remote worker despises their office, and they’re prepared to go to great lengths to keep their work from home routine.
Before the dark years of the early 2020s, probably not a lot of people did remote work or even really knew what it was. Remote working was a thing you did while on vacation, but not something you’d do full time. While we all had to huddle at home for months on end, many of us got remote work jobs for the first time.
