To commute back after the day.
सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
The commute is often the only time a Finn is 'alone' between a busy office and a busy family life. It is a time for mental transition. Similar to Finland, but Swedes might use the commute to call friends or family more often than the silent Finns. The concept of 'going home from work' is often delayed by social obligations (Nomikai). Saying you are going home early can be seen as a sign of high status or a very busy family life. The commute is often associated with 'road rage' or long hours in traffic. In Finland, it is more likely to involve public transport or cycling.
Use 'Oon' for natural flow
In spoken Finnish, almost everyone says 'Oon menossa...' instead of 'Olen menossa...'.
Don't forget the plural
Always use 'töistä' (plural) even if you only have one job. 'Työstä' sounds like you are coming from a specific piece of art or a single task.
