I've been smoked out of hiding and made to promise I'll go into the office once a week and today was this week's day. It's semi enjoyable and a novelty in the morning but on the way home it's horrid and I need a week to recover.
Did you felt like you needed a shower when you got home? I always do for some reason.
Yes! Now I remember why I used to shower morning and night pre COVID when I was in the city more often.
Ugh. For some reason you just reminded me of how I used to have to start an early breakfast shift around the time people were stumbling out of nightclubs and pissing in the laneways outside and trying to chat you up. Ugh.
On another note, why make people actually attend an office if there's no need? I'm not an office worker.. I've mostly had the kinds of jobs where you have to attend to specific machinery or equipment etc in a specific workplace. If you only need a workstation and internet connection then to my mind you can be anywhere. You can be in the fucking Bahamas and work. Why do they do this to people if it is unnecessary?
Oh gross, those were the days.
It's especially pointless considering it's an office of another company under our parent company (and I work for another in a different state) so going into the office has zero benefit to me as all of my staff and team aren't there.. and the staff there have no idea who I am so I might as well be invisible lol.
