I got to go back to the office this week, which has been
weird AF.
Sure, I missed the perks of the office, and I haven't had
much reason to commute into the city without work, so it's
kind of novel to be back on the train every day -- but it's
so good to work with people in person. Hard to know if I'd
want to go back to doing it 5 days-per-week but I'd really
love to do it a lot more.
Sadly, I now have a cold, so after two days in person I'll
be WFH for the rest of the week anyway, lest I make someone
else sick :/
I don't quite know what the company is thinking by doing
this: it's been a huge top-up to my excitement of working
here to get to see colleagues and have random hallway
conversations and just _be excited_ about some of this stuff
again -- but also we're a remote company. Next week it's
back to Slack and Meet only. I'm sure a load of people will
be disappointed (again!) by this, after having slowly
accepted it over the last three years.
