Before I retired (pre-pandemic) I was able to work at home as much as I wanted. I only worked 4 days a week but I pretty much always went to the office. It was only a few miles from my house and there were way too many distractions at home (wife and multiple dogs). Plus, my boss and I became good friends (we were the hardware department), he'd dot the hardware design and I'd do the firmware design/programming.

I'll be going to the office next Wednesday for the first time since March 2022. I'm picking up a new laptop. And then I'll scurry back home to my little (but big enough) office, to work on the new laptop, dog sleeping with his head on my feet, coffee machine ready to make coffee the way I like it, stereo cranked with music I like, and no need to listen to any other people's inane telephone calls...
Suffice to say, I'll only go back to the office for as little time as I can get away with...
Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p

No thanks
I do have a reasonable office space now at home, so that helps, and reasonable internet too. I have zero desire to go back into an office again. Interestingly, we started WFH a little before the whole mess started (it was optional) and then it became "take whatever you need from the office and go home" and now I believe we're going to give up on having an office at all because it's mostly empty, but costs monthly rent.
I like the "cycle to/from work" idea, but have no love for the drab surroundings or the time wasted in traffic driving to and from work, let alone the fuel cost.
I recognise it's "courses for horses", but this hoss is happier in a home office where I can properly disconnect from the noise of people - silence my notifications and get down to getting it done.

If you say that getting the money
is the most important thing
You will spend your life
completely wasting your time
You will be doing things
you don't like doing
In order to go on living
That is, to go on doing things
you don't like doing
Which is stupid.

Random thought since I have seen more unsolved clues recently.
The clue could be left open longer if Mondays winner posted the following Monday, Tuesday posted next Tuesday, etc.
The transition week would need 4 volunteers.

It would need an amount of extra organisation, and as the person whom would probably end up doing just that, I'd probably vote against it!
Plus, it makes life potentially difficult for people: how organised are most of us vis-à-vis our expected schedule for a week ahead? Some of us have difficulty knowing they are available the following day!
