Time to go back to the office and have still all meeting online with extra background noise. Looking for a quiet corner to be able to hear others properly is great for my mental health.

Also the office life improves my soft skills, like:

  • walking with my laptop open im my hand with a headset on to find an empty meeting room
  • sharing desks with annoying co-workers from other departments
  • enjoying other peoples conversations about their lunch plans from the other side of the open plan office
  • fighting for the thermostat setting and opening/closing the windows
  • embracing the daily multi-hour commute in rush hours

It really builds character.

Your office windows can be opened ? Luxury!

After writing that I feel I may need to clarify that I mean actual physical windows in an office building, not some self opening Microsoft product.

It used to have 95 windows, but times have changed

I had 10 Windows, but those were the last I ever need. Now have penguins.

My first job shoved me into a tiny room that's maybe 10 C hotter than the rest of the office. Anyone who wandered in would go "Wow it's really hot in here! You guys should talk to building management!". I swear the damn office nearly gave me heat stroke.
