What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Opera browser has a handy feature where it pops up a menu for either copying or searching the text that you have selected. Almost like right clicking, but automatic. I'm looking for a Visual Studio extension that can do the same. Does anybody here know of something like that? Otherwise I might just look into how to make an extension like that.

Ah, I see you have the machine that goes ping. This is my favorite. You see we lease it back from the company we sold it to and that way it comes under the monthly current budget and not the capital account.

I know  But once you get used to just highlighting and having the menu pop up it's actually quite nice to have.

Ctrl-C or Ctrl-F after highlighting. But what you want is an auto-menu when the item is highlighted. Sounds cool. Not aware of any extension like that.

Yes, because what the world needs is more unnecessary pop-ups to click when trying to click what's behind them.

Random pointless thought - it's ironic to me that a company will have a "no remote work" policy for their own employees, yet every company interfaces with and relies on employees in other companies who are, by their nature, remote.

A management epiphany who's time has come ( but it probably won't).
Perhaps they can outsource their work-remotely policy makers ?

I've had many side projects that proved to be useful in business situations, yet every time I put some private code into business code I'm met with suspicion and disbelief.
We will use code from total strangers that we just so happen to find on the internet.
We use packages from NuGet and npm, also from people we don't know.
We hire people that we've just met and entrust them with our source code.
All the code I write during business hours is fine.
But when I take some code I wrote at home suddenly it's not good enough.
Companies (and people in general) don't have to make sense

self emp - everywhere is remote.
But even then my requirements to do the job make it that I have to work at home almost all of the time - or at least that's what I tell the client.
Side effect of offices is meetings, direct effect of meetings is excessive time wastage.

You failed to mention side effects of working from home:
0: Family/friends have no qualms about calling or making special requests since (at least in my case) since you aren't at work??? (example: yesterday was two trips across town to get the missus's car serviced...all during my 'work' hours.
1: Coworkers desperate for help show up at your home office...pair programming = 'stop what you are doing and help me'.
2: That dreaded first call in the morning from the 'boss' (she who writes the checks) asking the same old tired question...'What are you doing?' This will be the first of at least a half-dozen calls throughout the day, each one interrupting me and causing me to take a break. Ain't teamwork great? 
The pros still outweigh the cons though!

It's your mistake for letting anyone think this way. Perhaps they're under the mistaken impression you are your own boss, and have nobody to answer to? (or is that actually the case?)
I made it clear to everybody I know that if something's not so important that they wouldn't call me during the workday if I was working at some office elsewhere, then they shouldn't call me at home either during those same hours.
Everybody understood that. That's been going on for nearly 10 years now.
Also: "Making an exception, just this once" is also called "allowing a precedent to be set". I'm an a**hole when it comes to this sort of thing.

From experience
- Learn to ignore the wife and kids, do not respond to familial interuptions (and get a door to your home office)
- Make you home office so uncomfortable for the cow orker that they REALLY need you help to endure your office
- Set up timed emails to be sent to your boss describing what you expect to be doing at any one time. Time them for 5 minutes before her usual call times. Include this link in the signature of EVERY email Dilbert(http://dilbert.com/strip/2017-01-05)

My shop is in Denver Co. My office is in West Virginia. There are no other persons in my work group in WV. They won't let me work from home unless there is an emergency. All my work is remote.
Leadership equals wrecked ship.
If you think you are leading my look behind you. You are alone.
If you think I am leading you, You are lost.

Or how about this. Those that live in town can not have any telecommute, but those who moved out of town are allowed 100% telecommute. I will never understand this one.

And when I'm working remote, I charge for "travel time" if I have to go to the office!
