I still read my PS intensely before I send it off to schools and I'm always terrified I'm going to catch something awful that I missed the last 100 times

I don't re-read for precisely that reason.

When I was applying to jobs after undergrad I discovered that I'd misspelled my undergrad in the first batch of resumes I sent out.

Also speaking of ruining food I thought I turned my oven off but I actually turned it on broil and now my Dino nuggets are burnt

I literally cried in the grocery store when I found out scores were being released, and I blame TLS for most, if not all, of that emotional build up.
I was getting in the shower right as my icons went gray.

I have never showered faster in my life.

I was drunk on NYD when we went grey last December. We all thought it would be January 2nd when scores would be released. Drunk and disappointing score is not fun. I just ended up talking to my (at the time) 8 month old son. He babbled back a bit; we were equals.

Since I live and work in the same city as our corporate office, I was able to just walk out of the building with a bunch of tech so I'm not just some lame-o with a laptop and I'm considering going back for another monitor so I can triple screen it.

Sure, the third screen would be almost completely unnecessary, but we all know that more screens = more preftige

Thoughts?
I like it, more screens is definitely better. I have two.

I say you dedicate two to work and the third exclusively to TLSing.

Are you excited to work from home? Gotta say I've found it pretty enjoyable, though it takes some adjustments and getting used to.
I'm excited for some of the convenience of it.
In my last role it made sense to work in the office more (even though I wasn't required to) because some of my team was there. Now my entire team (and my ~150 employees) are all remote employees so it doesn't make sense to make the trek.
I'm definitely excited to not have to wake up as early to hit the gym before work and I don't have to be as well-dressed and put together, which is all nice.

The lack of human interaction might take some getting used to though, but I'll probably still go into the office once or twice a week just to get some face time with the execs and the other friends I have there.

What are your favorite/least favorite aspects of working from home?

Favorite: less interaction with peers
Least: I'm slightly less productive at home.

I'm a slight misanthrope though.

So's Benny!

Unrelated question: do I crush my grandma at Words With Friends or am I supposed to let her win?

I have no idea what this means.

Also you crush her and let her know you are the superior scrabble player.
