Lift your eyes off the screen every once in a while, it may be worth the while. Walk the street, see some new/old faces, notice the seasons' change :) For real reason, keeps you in touch with the reality, and, besides, some persons have problems with offline communicating. I notice I have an opposite problem (the better I write, the worse I speak), so it's probably good to see some people, otherwise you can't communicate well with them. Sometimes it's just the customer who can't give you a good explanation in a document or over the phone, lots of people _must_ use their hands and mimic. I see my programmers about two or three times a week, but I often come to the office just to see the secretary :)
