  • The car my driving instructor use to teach me in was a VW Golf IV, the first car that I owned and had the opportunity to gather some driving experience in was a red VW Golf II, and the car that I used most to drift and test the limits was a VW Lupo I drove during my time in civil service.

    So, depending on what you consider “learn to drive”, these are probably my answers. All brilliant cars, loved each and every one of them.





  • I love it and I’m never going back.

    • I save myself the commute (time, gas).
    • In closer to my son’s daycare, so it’s easier to pick him up of something spontaneously comes up.
    • I’m near my dog throughout the day.
    • I have the fridge close to me. ;-)
    • I can do the laundry or start the vacuum robot at convenient times.
    • I have less interruptions by blergh people.
    • I don’t have to sit with my back towards the office door, which in turn was adjacent to the men’s room.
    • I can wear casual legwear.
    • Better coffee.
    • My three person office at work is empty anyway, because my colleagues commuted from further apart and are happy about WFH as well. So my options are a) sit alone in my office at home or b) sit alone in my office at work.
    • I’m here for deliveries throughout the day.
    • I don’t have that loneliness/isolation issue going, but I do see that it’s wildly different among people; some are made for WFH and some need the office to be happy.

    EDIT to add, because it’s an important factor and I read it in the answers:

    • shitting on your own toilet, with proper toilet tissue, even through remote meetings.










  • You are absolutely not! I’m convinced that there are dozens of us around the world.

    Also, I don’t just replace it in my head but while singing along as well. Oh, and I’m German, so I do simultaneous and extremely literal translations, replacing “baby” with “Kleinkind”, the German word for toddler. And yes, it’s hilarious every time.
