@TJ Baker - Being a newly distributed worker myself, I have to say that the Loneliness factor is definitely a buzz-kill of sorts. Despite hating my job for 13 years, I enjoyed some of the people I worked with every night. I miss BS'ing with them and talking about the news of the day or what was going on in the world. Now, working from home, I don't talk to anybody and I don't have any co-workers. It's a tough transition to make.
