WFW

The Posh Half Work Day

by

Wednesday I had a meeting at company main office. I have never been there since we were in lockdown when we were acquired. I continue to be based out of Canary Wharf. I generally like the office there however the visit this week was a very nice upgrade.

A view of St Paul’s from my window was nice. The single train I needed to take to the office (no transfers are nice) was also great. Then the 34” wrap around monitor at the desk was a nice bonus.

Sadly I only spent the morning before I had to go back to Canary Wharf. When others asked if it was nice my only response was they have proper mugs at the coffee station.

It’s Time To Suit Up For Work

by

It’s been 17 months (give or take) since I last ventured to an office to work. That all changes today as I reset that clock. I am heading into this office for the first time. We moved the week after lock down so I have never worked out of the site I am going to. Even though I was there once and it is only across from the old site.

This outing started out as a get together for someone who was leaving. Along the way I got re-ogres (a little more on that maybe another time). So what was a meet up also turned into a half day meeting to talk about the new team.

For the occasion I decided to Suit Up. I forgot how comfortable my Ministry of Supply suit was. Even if I make the office trip semi regular I may need to get another one of them.

For full disclosure and clarity I wrote this post a few weeks ago when I first went into the office. Since then I have been in 3 times. Today being the third so I decided to finally publish this.
