I really miss working from the office and am eager to go back when it is safe.

Unlike others that have posted here with that opinion, I hold no view that my coworkers are family or even close friends. Regardless, even the small face-to-face socialization I get as part of my work in the office is something that fulfills me. I am invigorated by being able to go into a conference room and stand at a white board or just walk to someone's desk, and try to hash out solutions to problems we are working on. It's just not the same on Slack.

I am single and live alone, so that is a big factor in that.

I also live within a few blocks of my office, so re-adding a commute into my day is a healthy thing, not a huge environmental and personal time drain.
