Today, for the first time, I went back to the office. It was horrible. I had to get up earlier. I had to shower before my first meeting. Get entirely dressed. Walk to the subway. Walk, walk, walk. Just to sit at a desk in an office with my laptop carried from home. What a waste of time and energy!

PS: yes, it was nice to see some colleagues but I don’t wanna do it more than once a week. Max!

In a lot of places, offices are also going to be a lot different for a long time. For example, masks, limited use of conference rooms, no food service/snacks/drinks, separation, etc.

Totally with you there. I switched jobs from a 100% in-office software engineering gig to a remote-first software company. The upshot was that there was an office in my city that I could go into and work from a couple days a week. The WFH-default, office-optional model is what I prefer now.

The walking part is healthy through.

Absolutely! My smartwatch was quite happy today. I just wasn’t used to it anymore I guess :D

For me that's the only drawback. I have a 0.75 mile walk from the bus to work so it forced me to get a minimum of exercise. Now I have to force myself to go for daily walks. Luckily I have a 10 year-old who will keep asking until I say yes.
