A surprisingly good day

white_hartI managed to get to the office today, after three days working from home, and was so delighted to see my team again I'd almost start to wonder if I was secretly an extrovert if I wasn't so very obviously an introvert. I do like my team a great deal, though, and I also suspect that at the moment working from home just has too many associations with the pandemic for me to enjoy it.
Thursdays are also doughnut day in the cafe in our building. Sadly, by the time I got up there the passionfruit curd doughnuts had sold out (another black mark to chalk up against the "managers' briefing" which actually turned out to be "getting managers to workshop ideas for improving induction", which was not what it was billed as at all, though I probably wouldn't have gone up before 10 anyway), but my vanilla doughnut was very good.
I have also worked out that the way to stop my blue Pietra trousers from looking frumpy is simply to fold the hems up. Somehow, bright blue tapered trousers unrolled feel like scrubs whatever I wear them with, but bright blue tapered trousers rolled look fun and relaxed and cute in a workwear-inspired way. Especially with chunky boots.
So, quite a good day, really. Though I'm conscious that I deliberately put off attempting to formulate a response to the academic who appears to think it's reasonable to ask for "at least 10 hours a week" of support from a half-time employee...
