For much of my career a trucking joke would have been more fitting.

Occasional travel helps. I also have a dedicated space in the house that is removed from my living spaces.

I have to go to the office twice a week. It’s 100% pointless.

Yes it is tiring and for many jobs unavoidable.

where's all the old Gen X'ers like me who actually like going into the office? surely I can't be the only one left

I could not do a shared commute. Having to be scheduled and rigid about going to and from would be a pain.
