10 Reasons Why Working From Home Is Awesome

1. COFFEE. Of course you can get coffee anywhere, but when it's free, high quality (because we all love powdered creamer and instant coffee crystals - bleh!) and is in continuous supply whenever you want, yeah, that's awesome. 
2. As a follow up to #1, THE BATHROOM is close by! And you don't have to share it with 50 other people! 
3. SLIPPERS & YOGA PANTS! Yeah, I rock those 
4. LUNCH BREAK trips to the grocery store when it's quiet. This comes in handy in order to avoid the long lines and stressed out people who just want to hurry home and down a few drinks to shake off the day. A large majority of which are parents who have just picked up their distressed toddlers from daycare and both parties look like they have just been through the apocalypse or took an unintentional stroll through a tornado.
5. A PURRING CAT in your lap. There's nothing quite like dissecting a disaster of a statement reconciliation with a small warm bundle of fur in your lap to take the edge off 
6. SIESTA! Need I say more!
7. DJ AWESOME IS IN THE HOUSE! No more being stuck listening to something that your nearby cubicle jockey or even worse, corporate, has decided is "good" but if you were offered the option to get paid to listen to it you would sooner claw your face off or run with scissors on purpose.
8. NO COMMUTE! This is self explanatory, yet I feel like rubbing it in. My commute is about 20 steps from the shower door, and about 25 from the coffee maker. Saves on gas, and more importantly sanity while raising the level of your personal safety astronomically. Telecommuting workers should be offered a significant discount on life insurance rates, just sayin'.
9. ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL. No more freezing your a** off because your co-worker is deep in the throes of menopause and needs her own walk-in freezer, or your office is experiencing budget cuts and they decide that cutting costs by "reducing the carbon footprint" is a great place to start. After all, you can always put on more clothes and who wouldn't want to perform long hours of monotonous data entry while wearing a parka and beanie.
10. ENTERTAINMENT during a bout of INSOMNIA. Can't sleep at 2 a.m. and feeling annoyingly productive while your mind is in the throes of a rampant inability to grasp the simplicity of normal human nocturnal behavior? Get up and work for a few hours, focusing particularly on basic data entry. That will put you right back to sleep
