1. How to get there. I'd normally change lines at Bank without thinking but it's so long since I did it that I had to think and follow the signs this morning.
2. Swipe cards. Only remembered after I got into bed last night that I'd need some kind of pass to open the front door and ended up hunting around frantically before remember there's a token on my key ring that does the job.
3. Having spent a year with one giant monitor I now can't remember what I used to have on each of my two screens.
4. Morning routine. Couldn't work out what time I needed to get up as I couldn't remember how long it normally takes to get ready in some kind of office and meeting suitable attire.

Did you suit up or is everyone smart casual?
Just realised it's probably dress-down Friday today, isn't it?

I've gone with standard Friday wear but I'm sitting here on my own so nobody would know. I've got a meeting with a client though so thought I should look marginally presentable.

Sails in the office do you dress like a sea captain?

Could someone remind me where I work? I was last there in Feb 2020. I think it has lifts and printers and desks and stuff

Genuinely concerned about this. I've become totally accustomed to loudly letting rip and then sitting in my own smell

11. The time wasted on commuting is annoying and insane
12. Other people smell weird
13. Other people complain about ... stuff. ALL the stuff. Jaysus, get a life.
14. Everyone seems to have forgotten what business wear is. Not a suit of skirt or tie or court shoe in sight.

Thank god everyone forgot what business wear is. Why the fook would people bother with a suit to turn up to a half empty office with no clients around and while most of their peers are in their pyjamas working from home?

Lunch was a nightmare as my favourite place is not open so went to the closest Pret which is also shut so then ended up walking back to the other Pret which I'd already passed on the way back from my meeting.
It's going to be a very quiet afternoon with no human company.

I've spent more so far today on food than in a normal week of WFH.
The office chair sucks compared to my Aeron at home, as does everything else at my workstation. Oddly the network seems less stable too.

I reckon the photocopier companies have done well out of people who didn't / couldn't cancel contracts and had no reason to call them out to repair the stupid things.
AWU- what's it going to be - a £75 day with commute and lunch / coffee?
