My company's CEO thinks working from home is no longer cool.
The atmosphere is dim lit, the nights are short and the days have gotten longer, so many tingly feeling in my stomach. And on many occasions, I will ask myself, "Tobi, could this be love?". But No! It is so much work from home and missed meals.
On this fateful occasion, it was just another day as I got into my "work from home" mode (wearing my boxer brief, a t-shirt and cozy up in pyjamas), I got a work email that we must return to office. What! Return to office? No! I moved on, not figuratively but literally moved on. In fact, geographically moved 2 hours away from office. My friends who heard the news on twitter and other blogs before me started calling and texting to check up on me. (Need I say, I am blessed to have the best friends ever). A couple hours after reading the email, my manager had already set up a meeting and he is now communicating our return to work strategy. (Yeah right! I certainly need a strategy because I am many miles away now). Every attempt to finese coming to office came at a road block, coporate is determined, so was I. Manager then ask us all to come twice a week for a start. That is good compromise.
Anyway, I have just started going back to office as of today!
