Pro: The Commute Is Gloriously Short 🚶♂️
• You: Stroll from your bed to your desk. Total travel time? 30 seconds.

Con: The Pajama Paradox 🛌

Pro: You Get to Choose Your Office 🏝️
• Potential Work Spots: Couch, backyard, beach in Bali (hey, we can dream).

Con: Work-Life Balance (Or Lack Thereof) ⏰
• Expectation: Freedom to balance work with life.
• Reality: It’s 7 PM, and you’re still working. The laptop lives right there… so why not?
Pro: More Time for Hobbies 🎸
• You: “I’ll learn the guitar! Paint! Start a podcast!”

Con: Isolation (Even Your Pet Wants a Break) 🐶
• You: “I’ll have my pet for company all day!”

• Reality: Every snack is gone by 11 AM, and your coffee intake now rivals that of an over-caffeinated college student.
