Office Stuff
I worked in the office today. It was the first time in over three weeks. That’s crazy. I went on vacation for the last week of July, and then I had the tooth pain nightmare complete with antibiotics that made me feel sick all the time, and then I had the two teeth extracted and couldn’t really brush my teeth for nearly a week along with another round of antibiotics that made me feel sick all the time.
I just didn’t feel up to working around other people. I felt well enough to work, but not well enough to feel like I could be out in public.
My company wants us in the office 40% of the time but the technical end of it is actually 40% of the month. So this month I’m doing all of it at the end of the month. I generally try to do it by the week but this time I’m going by the book and doing it for the month. What does that mean? That means I’m in the office four days this week. That’s what I used to do pre-pandemic. It used to be normal. Now? Now it’s suck.

A couple of noteworthy quotes:
"Telecommuting is one important way of stretching our dwindling oil supplies and forestalling global warming while we invent viable and sustainable alternatives to those portents of disaster”
Remember, Jack wrote that fine article back in 2006... What were you doing back then? 🤔

The one & only Jack Nilles wrote that piece back in 2006. Pretty crazy, eh?!? 🤯 Now, read through it carefully, while we're in the midst of this week's nasty heat weave 🥵, and ask yourself:

Although perhaps my favourite:
"When people aren’t in the office, it’s harder to command and control. Leaders can’t intimidate by hovering over cubicle desks and slamming doors. They can’t establish their dominance by summoning people to a conference room and pounding their fists on the table. They can’t even make direct eye contact to stare people down"
Choose wisely (with your feet) who you're working for👌🏻😎

A couple of noteworthy quotes:
"They see any kind of remote work as a threat to their authority and admiration. They want to be worshipped at the office altar"
"[…] self-centered leaders tend to struggle with the idea of employees making independent choices about where to work"
Like I said, incredibly useful reminder showcasing some early signs to watch out for when working with sociopaths / psychopaths

"[…] ordering people back to the office full time is a power and status move. It’s a signature strategy of leaders who exhibit narcissistic qualities" 👉🏻 https://archive.ph/QpMio
Fascinating new research acting as a friendly reminder: Whenever your manager asks you to return to the office, because of, you know, productivity, culture, innovation, etc. you may actually be dealing with a sociopath / psychopath 😤🤯🤬

@Valdis Many thanks, Valdis! 🙏🏻😊 Yeah, I saw that article earlier on this morning here in Mastodon, we talked about it in the community as well.
It looks like the masks are *finally* coming off, right? Specially, with poignant quotes like this one:
"They see any kind of remote work as a threat to their authority and admiration. They want to be worshipped at the office altar" 🤯😱

"We taught the remote workers to be proactive about communicating with their group members; not to wait in hopes of receiving calls. Often, you can tell whether someone is feeling well or poorly just by the tone of voice. We taught the managers of remote workers to check that effective communications were happening"
Oooh, for those at the back ... Jack coined #Telework in 1973!!! 😍👍🏻

"In my opinion, given the technology available today, 90%+ of most business situations (other than the obvious hands-on things like your annual medical checkup) do not require face-time" 👉🏻 https://jacknilles.substack.com/p/face-time-vs-zoom-time
You know what's pretty crazy about that quote ? It was written by the father of the concept of #Teleworking, Jack Nilles, back in 2010! 😳🤯

In this research, we exploit a unique data set and approach using spatial design as a variable of interest. We compare nine workplace designs for companies in the financial industry completed before 2019 with nine cases finished post-pandemically. All were designed by AIS Interiors to control for potential biases arising from distinct design styles.

“When employees know that recovery is valued rather than merely permitted, they return more focused, more engaged and better equipped to do their best work. […] these practices communicate something critical about organizational culture. They tell employees that leadership recognizes they are human beings, not simply units of output”

A couple of noteworthy quotes from that article, worth while reflecting some more on:
“[…] cognitive restoration is not a luxury, but rather a prerequisite for sustained performance. Human beings are simply not able to operate at peak intensity indefinitely. Periods of recovery improve attention, creativity, motivation, decision-making and overall job performance”

“What if the practices being eliminated are some of the very things helping employees remain productive in the first place?”
In the midst of the stupidity behind constantly perpetuating, to the extenuation, the "Cult of Busyness", this short piece 👉🏻 https://hrexecutive.com/as-burnout-rises-leaders-should-think-twice-before-cutting-flexibility/ is a rather refreshing read.

“[…] when policies are geared toward mothers or parents, managers have worse perceptions of remote working in regard to commitments, productivity, team spirit, and promotion opportunities”
Dehumanisation of work at play? 🤔 Gosh, the lack of #empathy & understanding of #caregiving needs & wants by employers is just staggering! 😤

“Gen Z workers love to yap—or chit chat for extended periods of time—which experts told Fortune’s Emma Burleigh likely stems from the generation’s isolation and loneliness during the pandemic”
Ah-ha! Of course, you see? It's much "easier" to gossip while on-site and get away with it than having to annotate such gossip through social, digital tools for everyone else to see it AND remember 😜👍🏻
It's all about work, work, work, right? 🤔😝

"#GenZ is actually the most enthusiastic generation about working in the office and are there 3 days a week" 👉🏻 https://fortune.com/2025/05/03/gen-z-most-enthusiastic-in-person-working-return-to-office-work-from-home-wfm-hybrid/
“They say going to the office gives them the chance to learn more from coworkers and build friendships”
Of course! Except ... 👇🏻🤔
“Workers aged 35-54 reported the lowest satisfaction with being in the office, citing environmental concerns, and desires for better technology, flexibility, and food”
-
[…] remote work may even be a risk factor for AI displacement, since managers who mainly interact with reports over Slack may view their work as more automatable”
See? That quote alone hints the issue is not #DistanceWorking but more along the lines of, yet again, another clear exhibit of poor #Leadership skills when managing virtual teams.
-
"What if remote working, not AI, is to blame for weak junior hiring?" 👉🏻 https://archive.is/6f8YT
Oh, seriously? You couldn't possibly think of a better argument to whitewash #GenAI within the workplace than to blame #DistanceWorking for not hiring enough young talent, eh?
Shame on you, FT! 😡

“During the Corona period, we developed many systems of work from home, online meetings and video conferences, and we even became accustomed to them. Today, the demands of the times are such that if we restart these systems, it will be in the national interest. We must prioritise work from home, online conferences and virtual meetings again”

I wrote a post about this yesterday. I am supposed to work from the office two days each week and last week, thanks to a head cold left over from our Florida vacation, I didn’t come into the office at all. That means for the rest of the month of June I would owe two days in the office.
Well… assuming I can survive for the next 3.5 hours or so, I won’t owe any more. Today is the fourth day of the work week, and I’ve been in the office all four days.
I am exhausted.
Prior to the pandemic, four days in the office and one day at home was the norm. Thursday was my one telecommute day each week. The rest of the week I was in the office. It’s not the same office I’m in now, but that’s not important at all. Four days in, one day home. I am pretty sure this week marks the first time since Covid came to call that I will match that schedule. Well… not exactly. Friday will be my work from home day this week. That is not important either.
What is important is that I have made up the two days I missed last week. I am back on track. Next week will only have two days in the office and all will be right with the working world again.
I just can’t get over how tired I am. The commute, the noise, the stress… it’s just wearing me out, man. How did I manage this for 16 years or so before Covid? I can’t wrap my tiny little miniature brain around it.
Tomorrow I will work from home. I have to move back to the basement office because Harry is home and I won’t be able to use the desk in his room. That’s oaky with me. Who knows, maybe if the weather cooperates I might work outside for a while. Maybe I’ll give it a try at least, just to say that I’ve done it.
In other news, my House of the Dragon season one rewatch to prep for Sunday’s premier of season two continues. I’m through six out of ten episodes which is nuts given that I only thought of doing this four nights ago. I’m caught up on Star Wars: The Acolyte and loving it so far. Three episodes in and I am coming up with some crazy theories. I’m ready for part one of the two part season finale of Doctor Who which airs tomorrow night. We still don’t know who the bad guy is. I haven’t a clue. The new season of The Boys is supposed to launch today at some point. I’m not sure exactly when. There will be three episodes released at launch. I am probably going to hold off on them until I get through the last four episodes of HotD. I’m not sure though. We’ll see.
No band practice this week. No band practice next week. After that I am hopeful that we’ll be able to string together a bunch of them and start getting some of the songs back up to speed. Not to mention growing calluses on my finger tips so that playing doesn’t hurt as much. I’m really looking forward to that.
Oh good! One of the guys in my group at work submitted a bug yesterday and someone in the Dev group just picked it up off of the queue. Here’s hoping we get a quick turn around! That would be excellent. I love it when things go according to plan.
Until next time… I am so freakin’ tired!

The rules for our hybrid working environment are simple. We have to be in the office for 40% of the work days each month. That works out to approximately two days each week. Usually. Some months require an extra day to hit 40%. This month is not one of those months. This month just needs two days each week.
Last week I messed up my routine. I was feeling under the weather. Not bad enough to miss work, but bad enough to not want to go into the office and risk getting anyone else sick. I worked from home all five days last week. No office visits for me.
Because of that minor illness and my desire in the post Covid world to go out of my way to not get anyone else sick, I have two days to make up in order to get back onto the two days in the office pace.
I had two ideas for that. Idea number one was to work three days in the office this week, and three days next week. Not bad. Not good. Doable. Idea number two was to just bite the bullet and work four days in the office this week. Suck Suckity Suck Suck Suck for one week, then back to normal for the rest of the month.
I went into the office on Monday (traffic was mild). I went into the office on Tuesday (traffic was horrible). I am in the office today, Wednesday (traffic was bad but not as bad as Tuesday). Tomorrow I will have to make a tough decision. If I work from home tomorrow, I will need to come in three days next week (because I am sure as hell not coming into the office on Friday). If I work from the office tomorrow I will be back on track and not have to worry about any of this for the rest of June… but it will suck suck suckity suck to be in the office four days in a row (again, no way in hell I am coming in on Friday this week).
So what am I going to do?
I feel a little sick even thinking this… but I think I am going to work in the office. Four days in and one day at home… that was how our schedule worked pre-pandemic. The thought of that just blows chunks. It blows great big chunky chunks.
I think I am going to do it though. Oh help me please, I think I am going to do it.

Well, gastric bypass surgery fans, I just had my first mildly annoying post-surgical experience while at the office.
I scheduled a snack for three hours after breakfast. It was a protein bar. Not a big one, not a small one, just a Goldilocks style protein bar to tide me over until lunch and to avoid the empty-stomach-stomach-aches I get when I wait too long between eating anything.
I was fine until the last bite, then I felt the upset stomach that is a harbinger of The Foamies. That state I sometimes find myself in where something is hanging out just outside of my redesigned little stomach pouch (pouch is the technical term for it, I swear) and my body starts over producing saliva to help break it down so that it can get into my stomach. I end up spitting up a lot, and I sometimes end up gagging up whatever is stuck enroute.
Yes, it can be gross. Yes it can be uncomfortable. Yes it is annoying. It’s not really a bad thing, it’s just a thing.
The reason it is noteworthy today is because it was the first time it happened in the office. It’s not the first time it happened during work, but the previous weekdays between 9-5:30 instances were all while working from home. I had to excuse myself and go to the men’s room to spit up saliva and wait to see if my last bite or two of protein bar would come back out to say hello. They didn’t. I was all better again after about five minutes. No harm done. No co-workers grossed out.
I am going to keep a spit-up cup at my desk though. Hopefully I will never use it, but hopefully if I need to no one will see.
As usual, I feel I must state in closing that this is sooooo worth it. Yeah, it’s annoying and all but it is absolutely worth it given the weight loss and all of the other benefits to my health and well being. 100%. I would do it again in a heartbeat.

I woke up early having every intention of driving in to the office today. I’m supposed to work in the office twice a week (on average) and I’ve only been in once this week. I can’t go tomorrow because I am only working half a day tomorrow and they only want us coming in on full days. So today is my last chance, mathematically speaking.
I got up early, like I said, and looked out the window.
Snow.
A lot of it.
Not like mountains, but enough to convince me to not want to drive 44 miles to the office. I guess I will work three days in the office next week.
Ugh, crud.

Happy Friday, everyone. Hopefully Friday has meaning for most if not all of us. It has extra meaning for me this week. Starting this month my company has changed it’s hybrid work requirements. Where it used to be that we had to be in the office for 20% of each pay period (basically one day each week), as of March 1st we have to be in the office for 40% of each pay period (basically twice per week). Today is my first, second day of a week. None of us our happy with this, but it’s a whole ton better than being back 80%, which is what we had prior to the pandemic shut down. Oh well. I’ll deal with it. I am still coming in every Wednesday. My group has Wednesdays as a mandate and the second day each week is at everyone’s personal discretion. I am sort of planning on making Mondays my regular second day, just to get it over with, but that didn’t work this week due to the contractors working in the kitchen. Friday was the only day that worked for me. Fortunately there was zero traffic today. I made the 40 mile drive to the office in 45 minutes. If only it were like that every morning.
In other news, the kids are on the ground. Bellana’s flight landed in Georgia (the US state, not the European country) before I went to sleep last night. Harry’s first flight landed in London well after I nodded off for the night, and his connecting flight landed in Scotland before I woke up this morning. All is well on both of those fronts. Here’s hoping they both have a great time on their trips.
I am taking advantage of the fact that I am 40 miles from home right now to make my way to IKEA after work. IKEA is about 60 miles from home, but only 20 miles from work. I will head down there as soon as I am free and go to the returns department and bring back a great big pile of stuff that IKEA included in our kitchen redesign blue print that we didn’t end up needing. There is a lot of stuff to return. A lot of stuff. If I get it all done tonight then we don’t have to worry about it, and with the money we get back maybe I’ll be able to afford a hair cut this weekend because damn, do I need a hair cut!
Anyway, here’s today’s photo-a-day picture. I took it before I did my workout this morning at about 5:40am. It’s only 9:14am now but it’s already felt like a long day.

I did it. Three days in the office. Not only that but three days in the 2nd farthest office from my house.
Tomorrow is Friday and tomorrow I’ll be working from home… finally.
Next week our Wednesday in the office day happens on Tuesday because reasons. I’m not thinking about that tonight though. I am just happy that I can work from home tomorrow. Insert the sound of a super emphatic sigh of relief right here.
As much as I am looking forward to not driving 73 miles to Foxborough tomorrow morning, I am even more looking forward to getting past the work day and getting to the weekend. There will be much xmas gift wrapping this weekend. Also… guitar playing… it’s a moral imperative.

I am home after a long day at work in the office. I drove the 13513533752 miles to our Foxborough building this morning (actually, it’s 73 miles, it just feels like a zillion and a half) for our group’s holiday party/meeting. Yankee swap and then lunch. After that I drove about half way home and finished the day in my regular building in Westwood.
Tomorrow is day two of three straight Foxborough days. This time it’s for my manager’s monthly meeting with his staff. Since I only have to be in the office one day each week, when this meeting ends at around noon I will probably be able to drive home and finish the day here. That only works if nothing pressing comes up tomorrow morning. Finger crossed.
Thursday brings me back to Foxborough for a third straight day. This time for a training in the morning, followed by my manager taking his direct reports out to lunch. I didn’t check everyone’s calendars to see if there was a reason why the group meeting and the group lunch aren’t both happening on the same day, because I am sure there is something going on to keep everyone from being available. It’s not a big deal, really. I have three long morning commutes in a row, but that’s still better than going in to my usual, closer to home, office five days a week, right? Again, if nothing goes wrong I will be able to head home for the second half of the day following the group lunch. Fingers crossed again.
In reference to a post from yesterday, the collared shirt I wore to the office today has been washed and hung up to dry. It should be ready to go on Thursday. That will do for today.
