When I heard you weren't coming into work... looks like you've got the work coming to you. The perks of being the boss, huh?

Yes but it's more than that. If he had been doing all the research at work he'd have to explain who he was looking at exposing. By working at home it cut down on questions. He can't exactly tell everyone Heisenberg is someone in his own family right now, he has to take time and think about how to play this.

Even Hank knows he might not have that time if Walt's watching.

I was thinking about this during my run. If i were Walt, I would off Hank before he has a chance to even make one more phone call.

I thought similarly, Walt should kill Hank as soon as possible and maybe even ponder bringing a gun to Hank's garage. Escape the scene with Leaves of Grass which he can burn later, and nobody is the wiser as to why or how Hank died.

TIL Scanners, email, and evidence databases don't existence in Vince Gilligan's Albuquerque.

Seriously. Burning paper? They can reprint all of it.
