I enjoy working in the office. Working at home would give me the chance to do more things with my family. I could also take care of errands, work on the house, etc... the article pointed out the major pros/cons.
The reference for this poll listed the following as pros/cons:
Pro: This is a major benefit. You can decide when you work. You can take time off whenever you wish. Doctor appointments? No problem. Your child is sick? You’re already home to take care of them. But there is a catch.
Con: You need to make up the time somewhere. The work must get done. You can make it up on nights and weekends, but then balancing work and home can become quite challenging. If you have a family you might run into resentment of the extra time you spend doing work. If you’re single, this is less of a problem in terms of people putting demands on you, but you certainly run the risk of work edging out your personal time. So you need to think about how you will define the line between work and home life. And it’s not as easy as you might think.
Which of these reasons makes you most want to work at home?

I read Guy Kawasaki's blog that referenced this list.
The list comes from

Gives me more options on how I can think. I normally toss around a ball. Or I'll stand on my head, or lay upside down from a couch
I agree with everything you said. We always have boss(es) -- having just one makes things easier for some.
BUT I am sooo much happier and more fulfilled than when I worked 10 hrs/day for some one else! I actually make a difference in places that matter to me :)
(and my clients like me/my work too... anyone need a logo? brochure?)
