Well, it was a fun 3 years of working from home, but I have run out of excuses and was required to go back to the office and I completely forgot how terrible this is. My new office is near the front of the building and the president of the damn company's office so I will have to sneak in when I am late now and the guy next to me is so loud and I am already tired of hearing him call his wife "baby" as they discuss tonight's dinner menu.

I may need to come up with a fake mental condition that requires me to work from home every day--any ideas?

About me: 50 year old male from the EST (DC area), who has been married forever and has kids and an always changing number of pets. I am 6 feet tall and 200 lbs with brown hair and blue eyes and try to keep myself in shape and keep the dad bod to a minimum. I work for a consulting company in technical writing, which apparently I need to be in the office to do. I'm laid back and like to have a good time with life and like the usual things, including live stuff (music, comedy, theatre, etc.), traveling, good tv and movies, and good food. I also read a lot.

I'm looking for one woman for a long-term type thing. I'm open when it comes to body and age, but I may struggle to have conversation with a 22 year old. Obviously physical attraction is important, but I don't have a type and am open to exchanging pics early on to see if there is some between us. However, please have a sense of humor, be able to chat and talk outside of just 9 to 5, and have a sense of humor and be able to laugh at me and yourself. I am not sure what this will look like as I'd like to let this grow on it own, but it will most likely involve daily chatting, pic/voice messages, and voice/video calls. I would also be open to meeting in person if you are close or our paths should cross one day.

Now I will sit back and wait for the replies to roll in as I can't get any work done here anyway with Sir Talks Too Loud next to me. Someone please save me from this insanity!
