Man, so jealous right now. You have everything, LOL. You can commute to work. I probably could do that, but I think I said in another thread, if I'm getting up earlier to go to work, I'll just take the 10 minutes in a car earlier and get a bigger paycheck.

You get a lunch break. I'd love to get a lunch break and be able to go out for a ride. They talked about putting my coworker and I on salary, but that would force me to shut equipment down and go take a lunch break. I don't want to have to shut my equipment down for lunch. An hour lunch would mean about 2-3 hours of lost production.

20 miles before breakfast! I assume you aren't waking up at 2 am to go do 20 miles before breakfast then?

And finally, your own office. This is probably the greatest thing you have. I share office space with 3 others in 4 corner cubicles with entrances facing the center of the room. If I'm working on the computer, 2 of the guys never shut up and they're turned around facing me blabbing away. It was so nice back when I had my own single office that had a door I could shut. It was also in a office mobile home out side of the main manufacturing floor and away from management. I had peace and quiet out there, it was lovely.
