I also eat healthier and tastier. I can do dishes, laundry, and clean here and there. I am MORE productive. I don't have to commute. But my boss is a Conservative Gen-Xer who believes working from home is the devil.

I mean im not the type like my wife who will hold it to not use an outside toilet but I have to agree. I would say access to your fridge is equally useful though. Its just way more convenient overall. Sill not having the commute is tops. I generally had to give myself an hour on leaving to make sure I would arrive ontime and for whatever reason traffic always seems worse in the evening. So like 10 hours incinerated with travel per week. Then like the additional getting ready is like 30mins so thats another 2.5 and that fridge thing means you can eat without going out but you don't have to pack a lunch. going to give that another .5. All the incidentals from walking my dog to being able to catch a 30min show at lunch im going to say its worth at least 2 more. Its easy to see its worth 25% on the low side and 30% on the high side (with the caveat that a job is useless if it can't meet your bills).

Installing a bidet was one of the best decisions I've made in the bathroom, but it makes pooping at work a lot worse.

Only using TP now makes me feel like cave man. If you got poop on your hand, would you just wipe it off with napkin and go on about your day? No.

Omg I came here to comment exactly this. Such a luxury

You know, you could bring a water bottle to the bathroom and one of these pocket sized bidet caps and nobody would really know. Unless you chose a crinkly bottle I guess

That is a phenomenal tip right there!! Didn't know these products existed, thanks a ton.
