I Miss Social Time Working from Home

When I tell people that I work from home, I often hear the response, "OMG, that is my dream." While I absolutely love the advantages of working from home, there are certainly some disadvantages. One of those is the inability to just walk out of your office when you need a break and go chit chat with a co-worker or catch up on the daily and nightly events of everyone in the office. Of course, the opposite of that often happens (a co-worker comes into YOUR office and wants to chit chat with you). As someone who prefers to just sit alone in my office and get my work done and then only seldemly "chooses" to venture out for a break or some social time...I'm not sure if it's an advantage or disadvantage to work in an office vs. a home environment.

All in all...I would definitely opt for working from home vs. an office environment, however, I DO miss my "social time."  If anyone ever wants to do a 15 minute WebEx "water cooler" break during the day...LMK!  :-)
