Remember when we were stressing about Working From Home - Not so Fast Forward - It's Time to Return to the Office!

 I'll never forget the beginning of pandemic.  I mean, who could? 

My firm was super about getting us set up to work from home and made the transition as smooth as possible.

Sure, we were all working from our kitchens, couches, bedrooms, you name it.

For me, it was a very difficult transition.  No social interaction, no coffee shop experiences, no office services, no one to talk to or to offer a second opinion on that filing or a second set of eyes.

Now nearly a year and a half later, and I'm in rhythm.  

Whereas, I once said "I can't wait to get back into the office," I'm now saying "how will I ever go back to commuting and traffic and the old routine?"

And if I'm really honest, it's causing me more than a little anxiety.

I, for one, would love a hybrid model.  I mean we've proven we can do it?  Or have we?

If you have thoughts about in-person return to work, I'd love to hear them.  All suggestions are welcome.  Remember, there are no wrong answers.
