Transcript

I'll never take for granted working from home. It's such a privilege. But it did just hit me that if I'm remote for the rest of my career, for the next like 40 years, I'm gonna be at home every day by myself, waiting for Sam to come home. Talking to people online that I've never met. I know nothing about. Like that's a little weird, if you think about it. And I've only been remote for what, five years? And I'm already turning into a freak. 10 to 15 years from now? I think I'm gonna totally be scared to walk outside of my house.
