Do you still miss your office?

Almost a year ago, our offices suddenly closed, and many of us were locked inside the home. While working from home, we can try to recreate such socializing by telephoning colleagues for quick personal conversations, or by setting up occasional meetings in nearby cafés, but we know it’s not really the same. Commute as personal space Many of us at some point in the past year have spoken about all the time we have saved from skipping the daily commute to office and back home. This is typically the time of day when neither office nor home impinges physically on us, and the pressures of both can be kept away from our mind. For all these reasons, as we mark one year since the initial lockdown and working from home, I do miss office quite a bit.
