I loved this line "the office began as a place where peace and solitude". Oh how far it fell with the advent of an open plan.

I moved to a small town, as did many. The town had to add new teachers to the school, and three new restaurants opened. The local store expanded. Construction jobs and even the local landscaping gigs have increased.

I love the effect remote work has had.

I get in my car on the weekend only. The environment is much better off too.
