The commute is what I was most glad to get rid of. Even as little as 2 days a week in my last 17 months of working, I hated it. Commuting on the trains distorted my view of time because I had to live by the LIRR train schedule. I could basically leave the office at only certain times. If I left 5 minutes earlier, I'd have to wait around at Penn Station longer and get home at the same time. If I left 5 minutes later, I'd miss my train and get home 20 minutes later. In the morning, I was often under time pressure to make a certain train. If I left 5 minutes later, I'd get to work 20 minutes later. It's not like driving where, if you leave 5 minutes later, you arrive 5 minutes later, usually.
I hated meetings at work, they were usually too long and a waste of time. I hated writing up employee evaluations, too. Got into some hot water on one, not because I wrote something inaccurate or undeserved, but because my boss's feedback and his boss's feedback conflicted, and I got criticized for that! When I switched to working part-time, I thankfully didn't have to write up any more of them although I had to provide feedback to the evaluation writers on those who reported to me, which was fine.
