I think this is a clinical example of "the grass is always greener". For
example, my office is having a Halloween party today at 5:30...I can't wait
until 4:30 so I can go home (well, start the trip home) and be with my wife
and daughter (she's almost two...the daughter, not the wife :)
I'd give somebody's left something to be able to work at home. Maybe in a
few years...but I doubt it.
Cheers,
