I have a warm shower and clean, dry clothes at work, so I don't mind if I get a little wet coming in. I prefer cool rain to warm rain, since I can dress up for cool rain and still stay mostly dry. When it's warm, my rain gear gets too hot, so I leave it home and just get wet. Wearing clear sunglasses/goggles is essential for keeping rain out of my eyes. I also wear a hood or hat under my helmet to keep my head dry even when it's warm. I ride with my laptop 2 days/week. I have a neoprene sleeve for it which I put inside a plastic shopping bag and then inside my panniers. Never gets wet, even on the rainiest days.
