I thought I'd love to work from home, and I can access our company's network from home, but the nature of my job requires me to be onsite.  "Minding the store" so to speak.  

The biggest problem is, I already have a husband who works from home.  The one time I called in to work from home due to weather (my driveway was a solid sheet of ice), well, I didn't get much work done trying to share the home office.  First of all, we're only set up with a single internet connection, so we had to keep getting on and off and out of each other's way.  

Second, well, my darling husband really doesn't know what it is I do all day and couldn't quite understand why I'd rather NOT be interrupted when working on a mammoth spreadsheet or a complex database, and that I really wasn't in a frame of mind to discuss what finish to put on the kitchen cabinets while crunching numbers.  The problem was, in his mind, me being home = "home mode" not "office mode".

All in all, it just didn't work out.  And when I thought about it, I'd rather my home be separate from my work.  My home is my sanctuary.
