[_] Freelancers: What would it take to make you go permanent?

I worked in Bristol for 4 years running a web dept for a company with
various project-based in-house teams. I then went to the states and
worked for an e-learning company for another 3 years. Again, really
pleasant in-house teams that I loved being around. I have now been
back in Bristol and am freelancing from home pretty much exclusively
for my last company. Its been 6 months and I am getting used to it but
I have to say I prefer a team-based environment to spark ideas off and
be social with. I also prefer the work/home cutoff that I get when I
have my work at an office and not in the back of my living room. There
are also distractions at home that require me to be more
self-disciplined. I would say that the thing I have missed most about
coming back to Bristol, strangely, has been going into work. So, for
me, I would happily trade in the freelancing for a FT position because
I think it suits me better. This is in fact what I am trying to make
happen with my present company....
