The biggest thing I miss were the daily walks with close coworkers, whether to grab coffee, lunch or just to get outside and enjoy the fresh air.

I'm blessed in that I have two roommates I'm also best friends with, so that definitely helps, but I do agree with you that there is a certain privilege, if you will, to the spontaneity that comes with office talk.

Thanks for sharing, definitely agree that having roommates helps a lot with the face to face interaction throughout the day!

Curious, do you still reach out to those close coworkers during lunch in some other medium? Or have you found that to be pretty challenging?

Now this makes me curious. Where did you grab coffee? At a nearby coffee shop?

Even just walking to the better coffee machine on the office floor below ours together used to be a nice time-out for me and usually made me feel more refreshed/productive when returning back to work.
