My first time in the office for two or ten lockdown years, god knows and the first time wearing serious clothes for a long time, long jeans, socks, shoes. Is it bad that I'm sitting here wearing sunglasses? I did buy some nice jeans and a nice shirt. And I had a shower. But my eyes are struggling. Everyone looks quite healthy and cheerful through them though. It's also midday and I only just made it in so that's possibly another bad mark in the book. The fucking lights. I need a drink.

Advanced. Forthright. Signifficant.
Yeah, it’s probably the socks.
Once I get facilities to sort my pass out so I can get out of here I'm gone. I've had enough. The DLR was on strike, the cricket's on. No. This is not for me.
I'm sure I can't be the only person struggling to deal with this nightmare of actually returning to the office. they've even given us a personal 'fashion stylist' to help us deal with dressing like people again, which im going to take up as there's a selfridges voucher involved. pub.

back on the other side
I had a feeling this is what Tory work culture is like, workhouse for us, cricket sunglasses stylists and pints for them
I’m pretty sure that everybody else went through this nightmare something like 18 months ago.

A hangover is a medical condition and they should not expect you to come in to the office in such a state. Take it up with your union rep.

I had to go into work throughout lock down and this reminds me of seeing people coming back to work mid 2022 and sharing their monumental achievement through face mask, socially distanced and visibly worried about touching the kettle.
Top tip: Just make sure you drink enough the night before and you will be able to power through until 4.

Fill a cough syrup bottle with Scotch and sip liberally throughout the day. People will think you're a trooper for coming in when clearly ill and they get to witness you visibly deteriorate in to an incoherent mess as the day progresses thus backing up your illness bullshit. Best bit is when you have such a lurgy no one is going to get close enough to smell your breath.

let me rephrase that... Fuck off
I manned the office almost single handedly during covid, because alarmingly it turned out that everyone was an antivaxer! And because it's working with vulnerable people they were directed to wfh.
But now I get to wfh, and when I do go in I actually wear sunglasses because the fluro lights give me a migraine.
It's also horrendously political atm, and like being in the middle of a Shakespearean drama
and I can't be doing with that. So I try and stay away as much as possible.
But yeah , the whole having to wear shoes and stuff , I can do without that too.

There's a mirror in the bogs where I fell asleep in earlier. I looked fine on departure i think. I think I've done my shift. Although my colleague did actually point out it's like 4.30 or something. fuck this.
