Yea, I'm contracting remotely and the difference between working a full-time job in the office seems to be night and day.

As a remote contractor, they judge me by my results and trust me to do my job however I see fit. No hand-holding or micromanaging, only one standup every couple days.

Meanwhile at the office I've got to attend a morning attendance meeting everyday, a bunch of other useless meetings, and I need to ask for permission if I need to take a couple hours to go to the doctor and apologize if I happened to sleep in one day.

Can't say I miss office life.

Especially the sleeping...

I have not set an alarm for months now.

I've always said one of my primary goals in life is to not have to wake up to an alarm. I'm so used to it now I didn't even think to mention it, but reading your comment I just realized I've achieved that.
But I sleep till noon lol
